 AB    As part of a 3-year federal demonstration project, San Francisco health
       clinics provided case management services to chemically dependent
       individuals who were low-income and often homeless. Many of those
       participating in the project had also been diagnosed with HIV infection
       and/or mental illness. The intent of the demonstration project was to
       use case management as a mechanism for strengthening the linkages
       between substance abuse treatment and primary care systems. Case
       management was adopted as the catalyst for increased communication
       between medical personnel and other service providers to develop a more
       comprehensive approach to responding to the myriad of client needs. A
       specially designed management information system (MIS) was developed to
       help document client information and case management activities, as well
       as provide a tickler system to improve client continuity. This report
       integrates both qualitative and quantitative findings to provide a
       context for understanding case management activities, client problems
       and successes, and the systemic problems facing clients and case
       managers in linking primary care, substance abuse treatment, and mental
       health services.
