Abstract

A sample of 176 patients admitted to a day and night hospital was studied in an attempt to identify factors predictive of complete utilization of a partial hospitalization program and to relate these specifically to the way in which such programs are now used and might be planned for the future. The clinical state of the patient, in terms of acuteness or chronicity, was found to be a more useful predictor than other criteria commonly used. The authors conclude that separate programs are required for acute and chronic patients, reflecting differing emphases and patient needs.
