Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE/METHOD: This study investigated the effectiveness of day treatment programmes in rural Minnesota by comparing 2 groups in terms of yearly rates of re-hospitalization. RESULTS: It was found that the group that responded positively to day treatment was much less likely to be re-hospitalized. Their rates of re-hospitalization were much lower than the state of Minnesota. The other group that dropped out of day treatment has a re-hospitalization rate as much as 10 times higher. CONCLUSION: This demonstrates the cost effectiveness of day treatment programmes.
