This study is a qualitative investigation that deeply analyzes the collaborative management experiences of health, welfare, and care professionals to successfully establish community care policies in response to an aging society. Thirteen practitioners with expertise in the fields of health, welfare, and care who were affiliated with public or private institutions and had experience in case management or collaboration were selected for the study. Data were collected through pre-questionnaires, focus group interviews, and individual interviews. The collected data were analyzed using the ATLAS.ti 24 program based on Strauss and Corbin’s grounded theory method. Through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, the central phenomenon of ‘Collaborative Case Management by Experts in Various Fields at the Transition Stage’ was identified. The study derived forms of collaboration, types of collaborative case management, and specific practical approaches to health, welfare, and care collaborative case management for the success of community care. Based on the research findings, practical and policy-oriented approaches for community care were proposed.
