In 1985 the nursing staff at the Provincial Institute of Health, Taipei, Taiwan, began to make follow-up visits to patients discharged from three psychiatric hospitals, brought about by the Institute's concern about the psychological (and sometimes physical) abuse of these patients. Previously, chronically ill psychiatric patients received little community follow-up by public health nurses. The result was a model follow-up programme developed by the nursing staff that could be used in other public health stations throughout the country; a manual providing intervention examples and an evaluation programme. Below, how the model works and a survey of mental illness in Taiwan.
1985年，台湾台北省立卫生研究院的护理人员开始对三家精神病医院的出院患者进行随访，这是由于该研究院对这些患者遭受的心理（有时是身体）虐待表示关切。此前，慢性病精神病患者很少得到公共卫生护士的社区随访。结果是护理人员制定了一个可在全国其他公共卫生站点使用的示范随访计划；一本提供干预示例的手册和一个评估计划。以下是该示范计划的运作方式以及台湾的精神疾病调查情况。
