[Psychiatric-psychotherapeutic inpatient treatment for depression. Process and outcome quality based on a model project in Baden-Wurttemberg].
During 1998-2000 a quality assurance program for diagnosis and treatment of depression was conducted in 24 hospitals for psychiatry and psychotherapy in Baden-Wurttemberg (southern Germany). Process and outcome quality of 3,000 depressive patients was documented at admission and discharge. The article focuses on therapeutic measures, duration, outcome, patient satisfaction, and their interactions. The results show that the patients' satisfaction with the care received is very high and the pre-post effect sizes of inpatient treatment for depression are high.
