Channeling: What We learned, What We Didn't, and What It All Means Twenty-Five Years Later.

- Abstract
The Long-term Care Channeling Demonstration, from 1980 to 1985, tested the effects of case management to improve access to HCBS with or without increased HCBS services on nursing home use and a wide range of other outcomes. This article briefly describes channeling, summarizes what was learned from the formal evaluation, and how channeling shaped HCBS going forward. Two important concepts from Channeling, the woodwork effect and the primacy of case management, are discussed-as they were viewed then and as they are viewed now. The article also touches on what was not learned in channeling and how some questions linger.
