[Psychiatric Day Clinics--Evidence for and Importance of Patient-Centered Care].

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to summarize and evaluate the recent literature on treatment in psychiatric day clinics, and to assess the importance of such clinics in the current healthcare system. METHOD We conducted a systematic review of recent studies in order to compare the efficacy and cost effectiveness of day clinics in relation to in- and outpatient treatment. RESULTS The evidence is still sparse and inconclusive. CONCLUSION Psychiatric day clinics act as a link between inpatient and outpatient treatment in community mental healthcare. However, evidence in support of the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of day clinics is still sparse.
