Question

How to collaborate properly, in a relevant way, with the hospitals?

Problem description

The hospital staff is not really at our disposal.  The mobile team is not systematically informed of hospitalisations of users already followed by the team. There are some problems with the accessibility of psychiatric emergency services when a rapid briefing is necessary

Impact - effect

The transfer of information is rather diffuse, with the risk that important information about key events is lost and the decision to engage the team is a mismatch. Monitoring the patient may not be well prepared because there must be responded too rapidly.  In urgent situation a transfer of information is not always possible, so the situation may become worse, risk factors could be increased including a suicide risk

To do

To do 1) the use of an intranet service.  For exemple: having a listing at our disposal of psychiatric patients going in and out the hospital services, so one is simultaneously informed and a much quicker transfer of information is possible

To do 2) start up methodological meetings with the hospital units
