Patient-predicted length of stay and diagnosis-related-group reimbursement
The American Journal of Psychiatry
|March 1, 1985
Abstract:
Comparing patient-predicted to actual length of stay of 127 general psychiatric inpatients, the authors found excessive length of stay among demented geriatric patients and young patients with personality disorders. They recommend altering treatment provision to reduce stays to diagnosis-related-group standards.
