The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Program on Chronic Mental Illness: an overview.

In 1985 the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation implemented the Program on Chronic Mental Illness, which provides grants and assistance to nine cities across the country in their efforts to improve services to persons with chronic mental illness. A basic premise of the program is that a central mental health authority is the cornerstone of improved systems of care. To be eligible for participation in the program, each city had to develop a service system incorporating a central authority and four other features: continuity of care, a full range of services, a housing plan, and new sources of financing. The authors describe how the cities were selected and how the program operates. They also provide a case example of the problems one city faced in establishing a central authority.

Four-year assessment of a day hospital-inn program as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization.

The authors report on a new system of care in which all patients who require psychiatric hospitalization are admitted to a day hospital with an inn and an intensive care unit. Data on use of services, length of stay, recidivism, security, medical emergencies, staff accidents, and seclusion and restraint over a 4-year period suggest that the new delivery system provides care which is at least as effective as the previous system of care. Evidence is presented that the new system offers certain advantages, including less seclusion and restraint, fewer episodes of escape, and substantial cost savings.
