Entwicklung eines vorläufigen Best Practice Modells für stationsäquivalente psychiatrische Behandlung aus Sicht von Nutzer*innen: Konsensprozess mit partizipativen Anteilen

Aim Inpatient-Equivalent Home Treatment (IEHT) for mental health is new in Germany and therefore requires quality development. A best practice model (BPM) for IEHT is being developed from a service user perspective. Methods 1. Collection and organization of evidence (literature review; n = 55 interviews with service users), 2. qualitative analysis and formulation of criteria; 3. consensus and grouping of criteria (Delphi process). Results 58 Best practice criteria were developed in 8 groups: 1. Information, access and crisis management; 2. Treatment framework, end of treatment and continuity; 3. Scheduling, organization of contacts and flexibility; 4. Practical support and activation; 5. Treatment and therapy services; 6. Treatment team and staff; 7. Relatives, caregivers and community; and 8. Privacy and behavior in the home environment. Conclusion The BPM provides initial guidance for a user-centered assessment of the implementation of IEHT.
