Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a model of Integrated Care (IC) at the Centres for Psychiatry Suedwuerttemberg for all kinds of mental disorders implemented in 2010.
METHODS: We used two different approaches. Patients who subscribed to the IC model (N = 98) were compared to a control group (N = 77) 1. in a prospective design with regard to treatment satisfaction (ZUF-8) and symptom burden (BSI) and 2. in a panel design regarding use of in-patient and out-patient services in the year before and after inscription.
RESULTS: Patients who subscribed to the IC model had used more services in the year before subscription compared to those who declined. Compared to the control group, IC patients had a greater increase of use of out-patient services, use of in-patient services (hospital days) was lower after one year. Treatment satisfaction and symptom burden did not differ significantly between groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Under the conditions of IC treatment is realized increasingly outside the hospital without loss of quality. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
