Clinical Practice at the Edge of Care

Abstract

This chapter considers how clinical interventions in edge-of-care contexts can be informed by research demonstrating the effectiveness and potential of various types of intervention. An overview of relevant approaches and their evidence base is given. It is argued that multi-component interventions are likely to be more effective than those used in isolation. The issue of how interventions should be delivered is also discussed, including evidence that interventions are more likely to be effective if attention is paid to engagement issues, if they are based on robust case conceptualisation and if they are appropriately sequenced and goal-oriented. Case examples illustrate the realities of evidence-oriented interventions in practice.
