A 24-hour home care team for people with severe mental illness has led to a reduction in inpatient stays and reduced service costs, according to a controlled evaluation. The 24-hour availability was popular with users. Home treatment should not be seen as an exclusive alternative to inpatient care. Admission is essential in some cases.
一项对照评估显示,为重症精神疾病患者设立的24小时居家护理团队已使住院时间缩短,服务成本降低。24小时随时可用的服务很受用户欢迎。居家治疗不应被视为住院护理的唯一替代方案。在某些情况下,住院治疗是必不可少的。
