Objective:
Definition of a standard for structures and processes of Centers for Community Psychiatry (CCP) that aim at providing mobile, multiprofessional, complex and intensive outpatient care to patients with severe mental illness.
Methods:
The standard was developed and consented using a mix-method approach and by involving all relevant stakeholders, including first hand experts and service providers of three CCP model-projects in Lower-Saxonia.
Results:
The standard comprises a checklist with 12 binary and obligatory CCP features as well as a model fidelity scale with 45 scaled items in 9 dimensions.
Conclusion:
For the first time, a CCP-standard is available that offers a quantifiable and verifiable catalogue of features essential for CCPs. The standard orients at the S3 guideline "Psychosocial Therapies".
