pubmed:abstractText |
A behavioral intensive care unit was originally designed as a 21-day inpatient program for treating agitation among demented patients, one of the most common behavioral disorders in this group. Due to the need to dramatically reduce length of stay and create alternative care environments, the original model was modified into an integrated continuum of care blending inpatient and outpatient care and partial hospitalization that reduced hospitalization from 21 to an average of seven days. This quasiexperimental study compared the effectiveness of the inpatient and continuum-of-care programs and conducted cost analyses.
