The Revolving Door Phenomenon in the Romanian Mental Health System
Frequent hospitalization was the primary factor predicting revolving door status in the cohort studied, reflecting the Romanian mental health system's focus on inpatient care. This illustrates the need for reliable outpatient care as an alternative to hospital admission to avoid the self-perpetuating cycle of repeated admissions that are inefficient both from an economic and medical standpoint.
