title: [Evaluation of a Model of Cross-Sectorial Mental Health Care (Integrated Health): Service Use and Treatment Quality].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate a model of Integrated Care (IC) at the Centres for Psychiatry Suedwuerttemberg for all kinds of mental disorders implemented in 2010.
  
  
  METHODS
  We used two different approaches. Patients who subscribed to the IC model (N = 98) were compared to a control group (N = 77) 1. in a prospective design with regard to treatment satisfaction (ZUF-8) and symptom burden (BSI) and 2. in a panel design regarding use of in-patient and out-patient services in the year before and after inscription.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Patients who subscribed to the IC model had used more services in the year before subscription compared to those who declined. Compared to the control group, IC patients had a greater increase of use of out-patient services, use of in-patient services (hospital days) was lower after one year. Treatment satisfaction and symptom burden did not differ significantly between groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Under the conditions of IC treatment is realized increasingly outside the hospital without loss of quality.
