Abstract

Referrals of elderly patients with organic brain syndromes to a Geriatric Psychiatry Service were studied before and after the introduction of a Day Hospital. The Day Hospital was used for more patients than predicted and was perceived to be of benefit. However, there was little change in the number of patients admitted to hospital or put on the waiting list for in-patient care in the year after referral.

摘要

在日间医院设立前后，对转诊至老年精神病科的患有器质性脑综合征的老年患者进行了研究。日间医院接纳的患者比预期的多，且被认为有益。然而，转诊后一年，住院患者数量或列入住院治疗等候名单的患者数量几乎没有变化。
