Summary:Quebec's Loi sur les agences de developpement de reseaux de services de sante et de services sociaux (Law Concerning Agencies to Develop Local Networks of Health and Social Services) includes a case management component that affects social workers. The risks & opportunities implied in the case management model as a service integration tool are examined.
