Summary

This study is an evaluation of flexible and integrated psychiatric care models (according to § 64b of the German Social Code Book V (SGB V)) (FIT) including new FIT projects starting after 2022 and the prolongation of any of 19 already established FIT projects (mainly at German psychiatric hospitals). The central concern of this evaluation is to answer the question whether FIT care offers advantages over standard care. The orientation of model care is a more cross-sectoral provision of services through more flexible psychiatric treatment intensities. However, FIT program structures depend on the individual situation and organization of the FIT hospital together with the participating statutory health insurance (SHI) funds.

FIT model project

Several statutory health insurance (SHI) funds have established contracts with hospitals for an alternative remuneration / financing of patients treated in the hospital (FIT hospital). Some of those contracts already started in 2013 and were prolonged. Some FIT contracts will start freshly (until June 2026). These contracts encourage FIT hospitals to test alternative treatment options for their patients (insured with the involved SHI funds), for example fewer inpatient and more outpatient treatment.
