title: [The significance of evaluative research for psychiatric management].
abstract: This paper communicates partial findings as regards the standardised evaluation of all patients in 1986 of psychiatric hospitals attached to the Schwerin county mental hospital. Data concerns basic psychiatric care, the catchment area- with due consideration of administering care near the home, and the reintegration of patients into society as well as comparative analyses over several years and type of discharge. Emphasis is laid on the relevance of scientific evaluation for psychiatric care, deriving conclusions for future planning and efficiency ratings of separate districts.
