| Study acronym | EMM |
| Study objectives | To examine whether continuous monitoring and management of outcome (EMM) improves the quality of inpatient psychiatric care and contributes to an adaptive allocation of treatment resources. Hypotheses are that EMM: 1. Leads to a short and medium-term improvement of the clinical treatment outcome 2. Is cost effective because of a reduction of length of stay (LOS) and decrease of subsequent treatment costs 3. Is feasible i.e. can also be used with severely impaired patients 4. Causes higher clinician and patient satisfaction with treatment |
