Abstract

In summary, the following recommendations are offered for consideration:

1. That each of the state departments of mental hygiene adopt the concept of the day hospital as an experimental substitute for new or expanded hospital buildings.

2. That every building project now underway incorporate plans for a day hospital center.

3. That existing psychiatric training centers consider the incorporation of day hospital training in their medical student, intern and residency programs.

4. That in those areas of the country not now supplied with psychiatric facilities consideration be given to the introduction of a day hospital, before building expensive inpatient services.

5. That local medical societies be included in planning for and operating day hospitals.
