Annotation	The demand for greater fiscal and clinical accountability in health care in the US has resulted in more bureaucratic control of physicians, health care providers and health care delivery. Institutional-based care has been deferred to community based care, and outcomes-based measurement of treatment interventions are becoming the benchmark of effective care. The increase in the older population and longevity, combined with fiscal and clinical constraints, invite a potential health care delivery crisis for non-institutionalised older adults. Interdisciplinary programmes, such as community-based case management, that promote older people's health and well-being can be an effective response to this crisis. (KJ/RH).
