Patient-controlled Admissions to Inpatient Care

Summary

Patient-controlled admissions refer to the possibility for patients with severe psychiatric conditions to admit themselves to inpatient care. Compared to having the healthcare providers make this decision, patient-controlled admissions are believed to decrease the need for involuntary care, decrease symptom levels, and increase quality of life and autonomy for the patient. The current research project aims to evaluate the implementation of patient-controlled admissions to all patients with severe psychiatric conditions within Region Stockholm, Sweden, including child and adolescent psychiatry (but excluding forensic psychiatry and addiction care).
