247 recruits completed a 10-wk training program as intensive case managers (ICMs). The ICM workforce is comprised of mature, well educated, and experienced persons, aged 21–62 yrs. 54% of the ...trainees were social workers, 12% were rehabilitation specialists, and 10% were psychologists. The demographic profile of ICMs demonstrates the effectiveness recruiting experienced and culturally diverse personnel to work with individuals with long-term psychiatric disorders.

To monitor the incidence of burnout among New York City Intensive Case Managers (ICMs), the Intensive Case Management Training Faculty at the Hunter College School of Social Work initiated a ...longitudinal study of this phenomenon in May, 1989, via a series of annual self-administered questionnaires.
Data covering the first year of operation of the New York City Intensive Case Management Program indicate a statistically significant lower incidence of burnout among New York City ICMs as compared to the national norm for mental health workers established by Maslach and Jackson (1981a). Moreover, there is a favorable correlation of the three indicators in Maslach's Burnout Inventory-emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal achievement (PA)-with three ICM program factors-length of ICMs' job tenure, ICM program and provider agency support, and ICMs' success/difficulty in accessing resources for their clients.
Specifically, the longer an ICM's on-the-job tenure, the less the ICM's feelings of EE and DP and the greater the ICM's sense of PA. Low EE of ICMs also appeared consistent with their perceived success in overcoming barriers and accessing resources for their clients and with the provision of support to them by ICM provider agencies. Conversely, perceived difficulty in accessing resources and overcoming barriers, the latter evidenced by perceived lack of support or responsiveness from community provider agencies, contributed to increased feelings of EE and DP.
These findings point to ICMs' longevity, a corresponding low job turnover rate, and a sense of competence on the part of ICMs in performing their jobs as keys to effective intensive case management, and to the success of New York City ICM provider agencies in instituting the managerial practices advocated by psychosocial rehabilitation proponents that promote ICM job competence and retention.
Nonetheless, ICMs continue to voice their frustration with persistent systems barriers, and top-level ICM program administrators have yet to provide sufficient support and develop effective strategies to help ICMs overcome them. A second ICM survey, which focused on these concerns, was completed in June, 1991. Its results will be issued at a future date.
