title: If partial-hospital programs come of age: some caveats.
abstract: The potential role of partial-hospital programs in solving both clinical and fiscal problems is acknowledged. The development of one partial-hospital program in the context of an inpatient-oriented hospital is reviewed in some detail. Lessons learned are identified, and anticipatory strategies are noted to facilitate the development of new programs should the funding become available.
