Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the Rehabilitation Law 2000 in Israel (which provides a basket of rehabilitation services for every mentally disabled patient) on the survival in the community of a population of long-stay psychiatric patients released from psychiatric hospitals. METHODS:A naturalistic follow-up study was performed on long-stay patients discharged ("key discharge") from two Israel psychiatric hospitals closed before (in 1997) and after (in 2000) introduction of the Rehabilitation Law 2000. The data source was the National Psychiatric Hospitalization Registry. RESULTS:The study population consisted of 611 patients. The percentage of patients who, at closure of hospital, were discharged directly into the community was eightfold higher following the Rehabilitation Law 2000 than before. There was also a trend for a lower readmission rate for those patients who were discharged into the community in the post-law period, both for those whose key discharge was directly to the community and for those who were later discharged after being transferred to another hospital at key discharge. Concerning the mean duration of inpatient stay, there was no difference between the two cohorts, whether hospitalizations followed transfer to another hospital from key discharge or rehospitalization from the community. Interestingly, the Rehabilitation Law did not have a significant effect on patients' mortality after key discharge. CONCLUSION:The Rehabilitation Law 2000 has a beneficial effect on the opportunities of long-stay psychiatric patients to resettle in the community without increasing risk of death.
