Question

How can we define the target population of the 2b mobile team?

Problem description

The vague definition of 'long-term psychiatric problems' results in a concept that 2b-teams are serving an immensely broad public.  All things to all men. There are no clear in- and exclusion criteria defined

Impact - effect

The team is flooded with a wide range of clients, demands, needs.  The trash can effect: if other teams or services don’t have a solution, referrals to the mobile team follow

To do

To do: keep the inclusion criteria (diagnosis point of view) wide. This doesn’t mean that the front door of the 2b-team is kept wide open.  But a bottom-up approach in defining the target group might help: starting from the knowing each other as team member, the interrelationships as team members (“for whom are we doing this?”).  Reevaluate this regularly with a critical view to the criteria.
