Abstract
AIM To explore criteria evaluating the effectiveness of psychiatric home care-mobile team practices, that have been developed widely in the last decades. DESIGN Systematic review of the literature. METHODS We included 24 studies published between January 2010 and October 2023. DATA SOURCES CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, Embase, Scopus and PubMed. RESULTS The evaluation criteria differed according to the studies: impact on hospital stay, symptomatic clinical impact, repercussions on functioning, quality of life, analysis of profitability, safety, therapeutic alliance and finally, cooperation network. CONCLUSION The variability of the criteria used to judge the effectiveness of psychiatric home care-mobile team practices shows their richness and diversity, and the absence of standardisation. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE The variability of the criteria used to judge the effectiveness of psychiatric home care-mobile team practices supports a qualitative and multidisciplinary approach, with enhanced teamwork. IMPACT Psychiatric home care-mobile team practice have widely developed in the last years and their effectiveness need to be evaluated. Our main finding is that there is a rich variety of practices and that evaluation criteria are very diverse, thus not standardised. We suggest using a mixed-method approach to capture the subjective experience of patients and caregivers. These findings also highlight the significance of institutional cooperative work and call for a redefinition of team construction. REPORTING METHOD The authors adhered to PRISMA guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION No patient or public contribution.

Abstract
Importance This research, utilizing discrete choice experiments, examines the preferences and willingness to pay for home-based healthcare and support services among residents in China, a country grappling with severe aging population, an area often underexplored in international scholarship. Objectives This study aims to solicit the preferences of primary care patients for home-based healthcare and support services in China. Design setting and participants A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted on 312 primary care patients recruited from 13 community health centers in Wuhan and Kunming between January and May 2023. The experimental choice sets were generated using NGene, covering five attributes: Scope of services, health professionals, institutions, insurance reimbursements, and visiting fees. Main outcomes and measures The choice sets were further divided into three blocks, and each participant was asked to complete one block containing 12 choice tasks. Mixed logit models were established to estimate the relevant importance coefficients of and willingness to pay for different choices, while Latent Class Logit (LCL) modeling was conducted to capture possible preferences heterogeneity. Results The relevant importance of the scope of services reached 67.33%, compared with 19.84% for service institutions and 12.42% for health professionals. Overall, respondents preferred physician-led diagnostic and treatment services. LCL categorized the respondents into three groups: Group one (60.20%) was most concerned about the scope of services, prioritizing disease diagnosis and treatment over preventive care and mental health, while group two (16.60%) was most concerned about care providers (hospitals and medical doctors were preferred), and group three (23.20%) was most concerned about financial burdens. Conclusion Primary care patients prefer physical health and medical interventions for home-based healthcare and support services. However, heterogeneity in preferences is evident, indicating potential disparities in healthcare and support at home services in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF ARTICLE Crisis Resolution Teams (CRT) for rapid assessment and short-term treatment of mental health problems have increasingly been implemented internationally over the last decades. Among the Nordic countries, the CRT model has been particularly influential in Norway, where 'Ambulante akutteam (AAT)' is a widespread psychiatric emergency service for adult patients. However, the clinical practice of these teams varies significantly. To aid further development of the service and guide future research efforts, we carried out a scoping review to provide an up-to-date overview of research available in primary studies focusing on phenomena related to CRTs in English and Scandinavian literature. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted in the bibliometric databases MEDLINE, Embase, PsychINFO, Scopus, and SveMed+. Included studies were thematically analyzed using a qualitative method. RESULTS The search identified 1516 unique references, of which 129 were included in the overview. Thematic analysis showed that the studies could be assigned to: (1) Characteristics of CRTs (k = 45), which described key principles or specific interventions; (2) Implementation of CRTs (k = 54), which were descriptive about implementation in different teams, or normative about what clinical practice should include; and (3) Effect of CRTs (k = 38). CONCLUSIONS The international research literature on CRTs or equivalent teams is extensive. Many sub-themes have been studied with various research methodologies. Recent studies provide a better evidence base for how to organize services and to select therapeutic interventions, but there is still a need for more controlled studies in the field.

Abstract
Objective: Hospital-in-the-home (HITH) is a service model widely adopted in medical specialties to help alleviate pressure on the availability of inpatient beds and allow patients to receive acute care in familiar surroundings. To date, such models are not widely utilized in mental health care. The authors review existing HITH-type mental health services, focusing on the domains of design, implementation, and outcomes.Methods: An electronic database search was conducted of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Fifty-six studies were eligible for inclusion in this review. Because of heterogeneous methods and outcome reporting in the available research, a narrative approach was used to highlight key themes in the literature.Results: Mental health HITH services exist under a wide range of names with differing theoretical origins and governance structures. Common characteristics and functions are summarized. The authors found moderate evidence for a reduced number and length of hospital admissions as a result of mental health HITH programs. HITH is likely to be cost-effective because of these effects. Limited evidence exists for clinical measures, consumer satisfaction, and effects on caregivers and staff.Conclusions: Mental health HITH services are an effective alternative to inpatient admission for certain consumers. The authors propose a definition of HITH as any service intended to provide inpatient-comparable mental health care in the home instead of the hospital. Standardized studies are needed for systematic analysis of key HITH outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although home hospitalization has begun to develop widely in recent years there is a notable lack of studies. The following study includes data from the Psychiatric Home Hospitalization Unit of the Hospital del Mar (HADMar). This program has been running for 2years and takes place in a socio-demographically depressed area in Barcelona. It receives patients from community and hospital services. Monitoring is limited in time and at discharge patient are referred to the ambulatory unit. MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients visited from 2015 to the present time were selected. A total of 135 patients were included in the sample. A qualitative descriptive study was carried out in order to define the socio-demographic characteristics. The severity of symptoms, suicidal risk and changes in the functionality were considered as clinical outcomes. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 44.6 years and there were no gender differences. A total of 26 patients had a history of suicidal attempts and 11.1% lived alone; 51.1% were diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. The mean GEP score for the severity of the psychiatric symptoms was 2.39 and the mean risk of suicide was 0.49. There is an increase in the EEAG score from admission to discharge, which means an improvement in the functionality of patients. CONCLUSIONS The results obtained in our study are consistent with previous results. Home crisis intervention teams have proved to be an alternative to traditional hospitalization. However, more studies are needed to support these results.

Abstract
Nowadays, mental illnesses are gradually increasing and so does chronic psychiatric patients. As a result of this increase, chronic psychiatric disorders lead the burden of patients and their families. To reduce the burden of mental illnesses on individuals and their families, treatment and care are given including psychosocial, physiological and medical support and social services. To begin with, home care enables both the patient and his or her family to stay at their own houses and not to be bothered with residents or long-term, institutional-based nursing homes. In addition, the home care providers deliver services to the patient’s at their own house. The other advantages of taking care at home is that it eases financial issues in terms of reducing the cost, reduces the patient’s symptoms and improve the individual’s quality of life (QoL). In addition to these, home care also minimizes the burden on outpatient services and provides help for the patient and the family in order to solve their problems and give support. Home care services help patients to get their freedom back and enhance the quality of their lives. Thus, it is necessary to procure and implement these services and supply both the patient and his or her family a high-quality life.

Abstract
To examine the home visit intervention (HoVI) effects on the re-hospitalization rate and medical costs in patients with schizophrenia or other psychiatric disorders. The subjects who received more than 3 HoVIs were defined as the HoVI group, whereas the subjects who received equal to or less than 3 HoVIs were defined as the HoVI < 4 group; the subjects who had never received an HoVI were defined as the non-HoVI group. Differences in the re-hospitalization rates and National Health Insurance (NHI) costs among the three groups were examined. The re-hospitalization rate of the HoVI group was significantly lower than that of the non-HoVI group. The hospitalization days and the NHI costs of the HoVI group were also lower than those of the non-HoVI group. However, the HoVI < 4 group was not different than the non-HoVI group regarding the re-hospitalization rate or the hospitalization days. The re-hospitalization rate was significantly higher before compared with after the HoVIs. The NHI costs were significantly higher before compared with after the HoVIs. HoVIs (More than 3 HoVIs) produced a lower re-hospitalization rate, number of hospitalization days, and NHI costs in patients who received care through the Home Visit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is evidence that mapping mental health systems (MHSs) helps in planning and developing mental health care services for users, families, and other caregivers. The General Administration of Mental Health and Social Services of the Ministry of Health over the past 4 years has sought to streamline the delivery of mental health care services to health consumers in Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVE We overview here the outcome of a survey that assessed the Saudi MHS and suggest strategic steps for its further improvement. METHOD The World Health Organization Assessment Instrument for Mental Health Systems was used systematically to collect information on the Saudi MHS in 2009-2010, 4 years after a baseline assessment. RESULTS Several mental health care milestones, especially provision of inpatient mental health services supported by a ratified Mental Health Act, were achieved during this period. However, community mental health care services are needed to match international trends evident in developed countries. Similarly, a larger well-trained mental health workforce is needed at all levels to meet the ever-increasing demand of Saudi society. CONCLUSION This updated MHS information, discussed in light of international data, will help guide further development of the MHS in Saudi Arabia in the future, and other countries in the Eastern Mediterranean region may also benefit from Saudi experience.
