Aim:
Different access routes to inpatient-equivalent home treatment (IEHT) were examined.
Methods:
Baseline differences were examined using exploratory group comparisons, treatment effects by type of admission using regression analysis.
Results:
Of 200 StäB users, 144 (72%) were admitted directly to IEHT, while 56 (28%) were transferred. Direct admissions showed a higher prevalence of affective disorders, while transfers more often had schizophrenia. There were no relevant differences in terms of treatment effects.
Conclusion:
Access to IEHT treatment is used flexibly, treatment outcomes do not differ significantly. Outreach services should be designed even more flexible.
