Chisholm & Ford, Transforming Mental Health Care: Assertive outreach and crisis resolution in practice (2004)
Learning points:
• CRTs start planning for discharge at the point of intake to their service.
• Active in-reach to hospital settings helps to ensure that people can gain access to inpatient care via the CRT and can be discharged safely via the CRT.
• Visits have to be down to about one or two a week before it is felt reasonable to transfer care to a CMHT with higher case loads. (p.56)
