Understanding partial hospitalization through a continuity-of-care model.
This paper discusses the role of a partial hospital program for neurologically impaired children and adolescents on a continuum of service delivery. The effectiveness of a partial program in assisting transitions across treatment and community settings is critical in establishing and maintaining treatment gains. This innovative approach and model are reviewed and discussed within the context of an integrated system of care.
