Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Psychiatry
  • Public Health Services

Background:

  • Danish National Board of Health recommends psychogeriatric services.
  • North Jutland's geriatric psychiatry targets only severe dementia.
  • Need to assess current service provision and admission patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Describe and discuss geriatric psychiatric services.
  • Analyze admission patterns for elderly with psychiatric morbidity.
  • Evaluate service suitability for dementia severity.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study.
  • Analysis of all patient referrals in 1997.
  • Comparison of psychogeriatric and general psychiatry services.

Main Results:

  • Psychogeriatric service: 40/46 referrals as out-patient.
  • General psychiatry: 57 referrals, 33 admissions (31 acute).
  • High rate of acute admissions in general psychiatry.

Conclusions:

  • North Jutland lacks adequate services for mild to moderate dementia.
  • General psychiatry experiences a high number of acute admissions.
  • Service provision needs to align with broader psychogeriatric recommendations.
