A study conducted in a Montreal area psychiatric institution focuses on the impact of chronic patients on in-patients services delivery system. This article shows a disarticulation of the system, from the first to the second line and within the second line. The authors suggest that when the length of stay is extended beyond a certain time frame, it becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile continuity and complementarity of services: by congesting the system, chronic psychiatric population is decreasing the accessibility of services.
在蒙特利尔地区一家精神病院进行的一项研究聚焦于慢性病患者对住院服务提供系统的影响。本文展示了该系统从一线到二线以及二线内部的脱节情况。作者们认为，当住院时间延长超过一定时限时，协调服务的连续性和互补性就变得越来越困难：慢性精神病患者群体因使系统拥堵，正在降低服务的可及性。
