Summary/Abstract: The case management (CM) has become in the last decade one of the most “popular” instrument in the social care, especially for developing (structuring), implementing and monitoring the care measures. The use of case management of a large scale is a relative new methodology in the field of the Romanian child care and an accurate implementation still remains a difficult process. The intermittent crises which confronted the care system at the decisional and practical level (the level or the care institutions and organisations) did not facilitate the design of a coherent methodology concerning case work, care planning and case management and their scientifically based testing in practice. In the following paper some of the main components of the case management will be presented and some of the difficulties and specific risks of implementing the case management at a large scale will be pointed out in order to optimise the macro components of the care system, difficulties and to avoid the risks which were frequently mentioned and described in different studies and research reports.
