Cost Utility of Intensive Home Treatment Compared With Acute Psychiatric Inpatient Admission

This economic analysis found that IHT for persons with severe mental illness in acute crisis is expected to be cost-effective compared with inpatient treatment, with a slightly higher acceptability probability for statutory health insurance than for the economy as a whole. Due to the high stochastic uncertainty, the study results suggest that more research is needed to assess the economic efficiency of IHT more clearly.

Abstract

This economic analysis found that IHT for persons with severe mental illness in acute crisis is expected to be cost-effective compared with inpatient treatment, with a slightly higher acceptability probability for statutory health insurance than for the economy as a whole. Due to the high stochastic uncertainty, the study results suggest that more research is needed to assess the economic efficiency of IHT more clearly.
