[Crisis management, highlighting new opportunities for organisation management in psychiatry]

Abstract

The health crisis has radically changed psychiatric units. In order to react, a crisis unit was established, comprising the director, management team and medical staff. Its aim was to apply the necessary adaptation measures with regard to staff organisation and management. However, these measures have had a specifc and significant impact on patients' freedom to come and go, which must be medically justified. This crisis has highlighted more than ever the importance of coordination across the territory.
