title: Development of a psychiatric home care program.
abstract: Psychiatric home care is a valuable service that addresses both acute and chronic psychiatric conditions; it fills a gap in the mental health continuum of care by providing an adjunct to outpatient treatment. How can home care agencies begin psychiatric programs of their own? One home care agency in Colorado has set up a psychiatric program to address these particular needs.
