Patient transfer delays between medium and maximum security hospitals are decreasing. Special Hospitals show rapid admission response times, suggesting improved system flexibility and care quality.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychiatry
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Patient transfers between secure psychiatric facilities present logistical challenges.
  • Optimizing transfer times is crucial for patient care continuity and resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze transfer delays for patients moving between medium and maximum security hospitals.
  • To identify factors influencing transfer times and recommend procedural improvements.

Main Methods:

  • Examination of patient transfer data between different security levels of hospitals.
  • Analysis of response times for admission requests to Special Hospitals.

Main Results:

  • Transfer delays are observed to be decreasing over time.
