Abstract

This report examines the level of agreement among 194 staff members of The Menninger Clinic and Harding Hospital about the optimal length of stay for 71 types of patients selected on the basis of hypothesized suitability for various lengths of hospitalization. There were differences of opinion associated with hospital affiliation and professional discipline, but there was sufficient consensus to enable the development of comprehensive criteria for predicting required length of hospitalization. The validity of these criteria will be tested in a future treatment outcome study.

摘要

本报告调查了门宁格诊所和哈丁医院的194名工作人员，就基于假定的不同住院时长适宜性所挑选出的71类患者的最佳住院时长的意见一致程度。意见分歧与医院所属机构及专业学科有关，但也存在足够的共识，得以制定出预测所需住院时长的综合标准。这些标准的有效性将在未来的治疗结果研究中进行检验。
