Question

How to arrive at a common vision between the psychiatrist and the team regarding the state of the patient?

Problem description

Consultation with the psychiatrist is organised in hospital, where patients behave differently. In addition, patients are often seen only once by the psychiatrist

Impact - effect

Patients behave differently at home, psychiatrists get another picture of the patients’ situation then team members during home visits.  Also, it’s not possible for every patient to go to the hospital, and to consult a psychiatrist.  If a patient could be seen several times by a psychiatrist, rapid interventions would be more likely to happen when necessary (eg medical policy)

To do

To do: make psychiatrists eager for an active role in the crisis team and for home visits
