Abstract
A case weighting system may be defined as an evaluative information system designed to insure equitable recognition of the work performed by rehabilitation service units which serve caseloads with different characteristics. Three types of weights may be considered: individual case weights, caseload weights and case closure weights.As part of a research project to develop and implement a system for case weighting in a vocational rehabilitation agency, the authors identified and interviewed a group of rehabilitation professionals with experience or knowledge of case weighting systems. These interviews together with a review of the literature suggested several issues to be considered in the development of such systems. These issues include the appropriate uses of case weighting systems, the elements to be included in case weighting, the potential forms of a system, the data sources and potential difficulties expected in the development, Implementation and utilization.
