| Popis: |
To evaluate a new multi-sector financing model for psychiatric care based on the capitation principle (Regional Psychiatry Budget, RPB).Patients with a diagnosis according to ICD-10 F10, F2, and F3 were interviewed in the model region (MR, N=258) and a control region (CR, N=244) financed according to the fee-for-service principle. Effectiveness of care was assessed before RPB-introduction and after 1.5 years. Use of care was determined semi-annually.Costs of inpatient psychiatric treatment decreased more strongly in the MR, while hospital based outpatient care and day clinic treatment were intensified in comparison to the CR. Quality of life, severity of illness and illness-specific symptoms in patients improved similarly in MR and CR. The functional level improved more in the MR than in the CR, which was especially evident in schizophrenia patients.Inpatient psychiatric care costs can be reduced with the RPB without compromising the quality of care. |
