[Coordination meeting during psychiatric hospitalization : expectations, challenges and solutions]

Psychiatric treatments often involve numerous partners. The organization of coordination meetings during in-patient admissions is necessary in order to harmonize interventions. The expectations of each partner during such meetings may however differ and some issues that may seem important to some of them may be neglected. In this paper, we report the results of a survey conducted among the various partners involved in psychiatric patient's treatment in order to identify their expectations, the challenges they may have faced and the solutions they would propose. If perfection ca not be warrantied in all situations, taking these elements into account may improve these meetings and allow to better respect the role of each actor while giving to the patient the central role that they should play when defining their treatment.
