title: [Psychiatry and psychiatric patients : A study of the adherence after psychiatric inpatient treatment at the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the Clinicum Klagenfurt am Wörthersee.]
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Based on the data of an analysis of costs of psychopharmacological treatment by the Austrian Rechnungshof in 2011, which also revealed remarkable differences between Salzburg and Carinthia (federal states of Austria), a panel of experts discussed the potential causes. A consequence was the following prospective study, which took place at the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy in Klagenfurt/Carinthia.
  
  
  METHODS
  The aim in this mirror design study was to analize the data of psychopharmacologic treatment, epidemiological data of the treated patients (N = 230) and utilization of healthcare ressources such as contacts to psychiatrists or practicioners after discharge.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We could show a high adherence concerning the redeem of the prescriptions, a low proportion of generics, and a very low rate of contacts to psychiatrists contrasting contacts to practitioners.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Beneath that in the sense of descriptive epidemiology the data help to characterize adherence behavior after discharge and details of in- and outdoor treatment.
