  RESULTS. Most care managers perceived the Daily Life Performance Transfer Sheet as useful. Its perceived usefulness was significantly correlated with all items related to subjective assessment of care management, such as the understanding of clients’ abilities, short-term care planning, long-term care planning, interprofessional collaboration, and sense of accomplishment.
