Psychiatry 2023: Successful treatment more common in the Romandy

all news »

November 8, 2024 -  Current measures of treatment success in inpatient psychiatry show that the majority of patients feel significantly better after a hospital stay - but not everywhere to the same extent.

Patient evaluations confirm that 9 Swiss clinics have significantly better treatment outcomes. The Clinica Viarnetto in Pregassona comes out on top. The RFSM Centre de soins hospitaliers in Fribourg also scored very well. Therapists also assess the success of the treatment. In this respect, the Clinica Santa Croce in Orselina is at the top and 28 clinics show significantly better results.

It is striking that the best places are almost always occupied by clinics in French- and Italian-speaking cantons. Psychiatry in the Romandy seems to be ahead of the rest.

Not all clinics show the same positive effects. In some facilities, patients benefit significantly less from their stay. More details on the assessment from the perspective of patients and therapists can be found here.

However, one important question remains unanswered: The long-term effects of the treatments. The ANQ has so far failed to establish measures such as re-entry rates or the long-term social integration of patients - an approach that has long been common practice in other countries.

 no real contact persons, huge hospital, if you want to make an appointment you phone around literally for hours. I was sent home after surgery, because I'd stayed for too long, but then it showed that there was still an infection, etc etc, you feel like "feed"  - medical intervention: no rapid recovery, a problem with the suture, inflammation, and then there was no real contact person any more after the discharge
