| dc.description.abstract | Out-of-area placements (OAPs) are heavily relied upon by the NHS to meet growing demand but they are expensive, disruptive for patients, and may reduce quality of care and outcomes for patients. Here, the authors compared 50 patients who used acute OAPs with 50 patients admitted to an acute bed locally as regards length of stay, readmission rates, contact
with services and levels of
self-harm in the following 12
months. The results were
substantially worse in key
respects for patients who go to
OAPs, raising further questions
about their quality and the
economic impact to the NHS. | en |
