Question

How to avoid saturation of the active caseload?

Problem description

When a situation is stabilised, it is very difficult to pass the estafet-baton

Impact - effect

The duration of the follow up is increasing, making it difficult to respond to new requests.  There’s a risk that the place and role of the mobile team is strongly depending on the availability of services around function 2.   One may wonder whether a mobile team can still respond to the critical success factors of function 2 when difficulties of referring patients to other services persist.

To do

To do: explore the possibilities to create around the mobile team ambulatory structures for  that part of the caseload where intensive monitoring is no longer necessary. For example adjusted day centers, therapeutic clubs, pubs, ... These kind of services are little available in our rural regions.  The improvement of mobility in rural areas could also be supportive.  There are of course other issues, transcending the regional level (eg fees for consultations with psychologists)
