Question

How is the psychiatrist function defined in an acute mobile team?

Problem description

The team has a very limited number of hours psychiatrist at its disposal

Impact - effect

Home visits with a psychiatrist are difficult to plan.  We can’t always intervene rapidly and adjustments of medication can take some time.  In order to support the clients, to assess risks and to obtain diagnostic information quickly, clients should be seen rapidly by the psychiatrist

To do

To do: increase the investment of means, in order to increase the number of available psychiatrist hours. In Aalesund, the psychiatrist is full-time available for the mobile team

Theme

Role of psychiatrists

Topic

Number of hours/week available for the team, number of WTE psychiatrist (full-time, part-time..)
