    Author: Gühne U, Weinmann S, Arnold K, Atav ES, Becker T, Riedel-Heller S.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 2011 Apr; 38(3):114-22. PubMed ID: 21207350.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report about existing evidence of effectiveness of home treatment for severely mentally ill adults and implementation in Germany. METHODS: Systematic electronic and manual literature search. RESULTS: Compared to standard care, home treatment was equally or more efficacious with respect to general state of health and mental health. Home treatment was superior with regard to other outcomes. So far, implementation in Germany is limited. CONCLUSIONS: Home treatment can be seen as an effective addition to existing approaches of psychiatric care. It may be cost-effective also in Germany. Reasons for limited implementation in routine care are discussed.
