  • Aims and method

    The Tower Hamlets Crisis House (voluntary sector), in partnership with the local home treatment team, offers a brief residential alternative to psychiatric hospital admission. Here, we review clinician-reported (Health of the Nation Outcome Scales; HoNOS) and patient-reported (DIALOG) outcome scores collected from successive admissions between June 2015 and December 2016, to assess the effectiveness of the service model. We identified 153 successive admissions, and of these, 85 (55.6%) and 91 (59.5%) patients completed both admission and discharge DIALOG and HoNOS questionnaires, respectively. We analysed ten out of twelve HoNOS domains and eight patient-reported outcome measure DIALOG domains.

    Results

    We found a statistically significant improvement in nine out of ten domains of HoNOS and three out of eight domains of DIALOG.

    Clinical implications

    A partnership between a home treatment team and crisis house can result in positive outcomes for patients, as determined by both clinicians and patients.
