Abstract

THIS MODELS OF CARE section features two articles that address issues of quality and cost efficiency. Models of substitution and effective tools for demand management strategies are discussed. The first is an article entitled ?Substitution across professions within the home care sector: an investigation of nursing and allied health services? by Stevens and Vecchio (page 19). The article explores two different health professional groups within the home sector. The article by Prowse and Coombs entitled ?The use of the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) to inform discharge and transfer decisions in community mental health services? (page 13) focuses on a community mental health model which has put in place a measurement tool to assist in discharge planning.
