BACKGROUND
This is a study of the cost-benefit advantage of the model project acute day hospital (ATK) compared to inpatient care.
METHODS
The study was performed retrospectively and examined the direct costs and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) in a matched sample.
RESULTS
The day clinic treatment compared to inpatient therapy showed at a cost benefit of 2.68: 1 at a slightly delayed increase in GAF-value.
CONCLUSION
The treatment in ATK is more than twice as cheap compared to inpatient treatment, but at a slightly slower improvement in symptoms.
