OBJECTIVE Effectiveness of Inpatient Equivalent Home Treatment (IEHT) was examined in comparison to standard psychiatric inpatient treatment. IEHT is similar to the internationally known Home Treatment or Crisis Resolution Teams. It provides acute psychiatric treatment at the user's home, similar to inpatient hospital treatment in terms of content, flexibility, and complexity. METHODS This retrospective matched control study used routine data of 86 patients (IEHT, nā€Š=ā€Š43, standard inpatient treatment nā€Š=ā€Š43). Readmission rates and cumulative hospital days were compared within a 12-month-follow-up time period. RESULTS The readmission rate was lower and cumulative treatment days were longer after IETH. However, both group differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION The present study indicates that IEHT is not inferior to standard inpatient treatment in terms of the risk of readmission.
