Crisis resolution teams and inpatient mental health care in England.
Background:
This report describes the first stage of a study of the effects of the
implementation of crisis resolution teams in England following the policy
initiatives first set out in the National Service Framework for mental illness
(Department of Health 1998). The work was based entirely on routinely
collected data from Hospital Episode Statistics, Department of Health KP90
returns (describing the use of the Mental Health Act) and the annual mapping
of English mental health services by the Centre for Public Mental Health at the
University of Durham (Glover and Barnes, 2002, 2003, 2005). Key goals for
the policy were the reduction of the numbers and length of admissions to
mental hospitals and of the use of compulsion. In the work described here,
we aim was to establish whether the implementation of crisis resolution teams
had been associated with measurable changes of these kinds.
