[Establishing ward-independent, intensive treatment concept in a psychiatric hospital : A model project within the new German remuneration system]. / Implementierung stationsungebundener Leistungen in der Psychiatrie : Modellvorhaben zum neuen Entgeltsystem.

Model projects according to § 64b of the Social Code V in the context of the new remuneration system in psychiatry and psychosomatics, offer great possibilities to improve the treatment of people with mental illnesses. This article presents the model project of the University Hospital Bochum, which is essentially characterized by improved transition through the internal hospital sections so that patients can be quickly transferred from inpatient and daycare sections to high frequency outpatient sections with ward-independent therapies (SUL), including outreach home treatment. The SUL is also intended to facilitate preadmission crises, to significantly reduce duration of inpatient treatment and to maximize post-inpatient continuity of treatment.
