Comparative Study
Do clinicians agree about who needs extended psychiatric hospitalization?
Compr Psychiatry.
1990 Jul-Aug.
Abstract
This report examines the level of agreement among 194 staff members of The Menninger Clinic and Harding Hospital about the optimal length of stay for 71 types of patients selected on the basis of hypothesized suitability for various lengths of hospitalization. There were differences of opinion associated with hospital affiliation and professional discipline, but there was sufficient consensus to enable the development of comprehensive criteria for predicting required length of hospitalization. The validity of these criteria will be tested in a future treatment outcome study.
