b. System-focused

d. Long-term care
ANS: B
The system-focused model addresses the structure and processes of using the population-based tools of disease management and critical pathways to offer care for client populations. The con-cern in client-focused models is with the relationship between case manager and client to support continuity of care and to access providers of care. The social service models provide services to clients to assist them in living independently in the community and in maintaining their health by eliminating or reducing the need for hospital admissions or long-term care. Long-term care is not a model of case management.
