INTEGRATION OF A DAY-CARE PROGRAM INTO A GENERAL PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
Abstract
An attempt to integrate day-care patients on the general psychiatric wards of our hospital has been unsatisfactory, as evidenced by the fact that of the first 40 patients admitted, 21 were unable to continue on day-care status to discharge. Reasons for this difficulty have been explored and suggestions for improvement are discussed. Further evaluation is being undertaken to see if changes such as those mentioned will help in the assimilation of the day-care patient.
