Abstract:
The Psy-Belt program (brief psychiatric care linked to the local area), developed by the Nord-Ouest Val-d'Oise hospital with the support of the Île-de-France regional health agency, aims to improve access to outpatient psychiatric care. Positioned at the beginning of the care pathway, it offers rapid assessment and intensive short-term follow-up by psychiatrists and advanced practice nurses (APNs). Despite limited human resources, it illustrates an innovative organizational approach aimed at streamlining mental health care pathways in a region under pressure and takes full advantage of the new skills offered by the arrival of APNs in psychiatry.
