Abstract:

The paper presents the results obtained from a qualitative research performed in a group of users involved in the case management program, which was developed by a group medicine company to provide health care for patients experiencing a high vulnerability situation. The study was aimed at featuring how the experience faced by the users can be employed as an outstanding operative as well as evaluative program component by highlighting its qualities and internal contradictions. The results show how patients ascribe a high value to the health care they receive, with special emphasis to the connection that is created along the health team in charge, even when contact is only made by telephone. In addition, and at the same time, they are able to perceive the double feature presented by the regulation/assistance model found in the technological arrangement at issue, notably in relation to the prominent role played by economy towards cost reduction – which lies in the forefront of its operationalization – for the final quality of health care.
