The philosophy of Community Care has resulted in the closure of several mental hospitals in this country. The ethos of the Worcester Development Project saw the closure of St Wulstan's and Powick Hospitals, and their replacement by a community-based service. This paper briefly describes the outcome of a three-year retrospective study completed in 1988 following the closure of both hospitals. The findings provide a comparison of the two hospitals, including details of the destination of all the patients. It is suggested that the term 'hospital replacement' might be preferable to 'hospital closure.'
社区护理理念导致该国几家精神病院关闭。伍斯特发展项目的理念促使圣伍尔斯坦医院和波威克医院关闭，并由社区服务取而代之。本文简要描述了1988年在两家医院关闭后完成的一项为期三年的回顾性研究结果。研究结果对两家医院进行了比较，包括所有患者的去向细节。有人认为，“医院替代”一词可能比“医院关闭”更合适。
