| Popis: | This paper reports results of analyses of case mix and state hospital use patterns for older adults from 1984 to 1988 in nine states. Results show that states differ in the following ways in how they use state psychiatric hospitals for care of older adults with neuro-psychiatric disorders: (1) their emphasis on long-, intermediate-, and short-term care functions, (2) which length of stay functions are used for different types of neuro-psychiatric disorders, and (3) the extent to which they rely on the state hospital for care of the older adult population. Implications for mental health policy planning are discussed. |
