Aim New treatment models (according to 64b German Social Code) have been introduced in Germany to improve flexible and integrated forms of psychiatric care. The aim of this study was to analyse the specific conditions under which many of these models have been implemented in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein (SH) in comparison to other federal regions. Methods A standardized survey reached 383 patients in seven psychiatric departments, among them three departments in SH. In addition, routine data and data evaluating the grade of implementation in these departments were analysed. Results Departments in SH showed more developed implementation processes, compared with departments in other regions. Implemented changes were perceived and evaluated as being better by patients in SH. Conclusions Implementation processes of flexible and integrated forms of care according to 64b were particularly successful in SH. Extensive political support is discussed as a major reason, among others, for this development.

Zusammenfassung Ziel Untersucht werden die Bedingungen und Hurden der Einfuhrung von Stationsaquivalenter Behandlung nach 115d SGB V (StaB). Methode Qualitative Analyse von Interviews und Fokusgruppen mit Mitarbeitenden (n=43) an 11 psychiatrischen Kliniken in Berlin/Brandenburg. Ergebnisse Auf Systemebene wird die Implementierung u.a. durch eine inadaquate Leistungsdefinition, fehlende Vorgaben auf Landesebene, Personalmangel und MDK-Prufungen erschwert. Dies fuhrt bei Kliniken zu zuruckhaltender Umsetzung mit teilweise unzureichender personeller Ausstattung der StaB-Teams. Weitere Barrieren betreffen das Fehlen mobiler Losungen zur Dokumentation und Teamkommunikation. Auf Ebene der Mitarbeitenden wirken sich ein Mangel an Information und Kooperation sowie unklare Aufgaben und Rollen hinderlich aus. Schlussfolgerungen Fur eine bedurfnisorientierte, flexible und flachendeckende Einfuhrung von StaB sind Nachbesserungen an den Rahmenbedingungen sowie weitere Forschung zur Wirksamkeit und Implementierung notwendig. Abstract Objective The obstacles to implementation of a German variation of psychiatric Home-Treatment (HT), called Inpatient Equivalent Home-Treatment (IEHT) are examined. Method 43 employees from 11 psychiatric hospitals in the federal states of Berlin and Brandenburg were questioned using interviews and focus groups. A thematic analysis was conducted using the socio-institutional theoretical model. Results At system-level, implementation is hampered by an inadequate service definition, staff shortages, as well as performance assessments by health insurances. This leads to reluctant implementation at hospital-level with insufficient staffing of the teams. Other barriers include a lack of mobile devices for documentation and team communication. At the level of employees, poor information, and cooperation as well as unclear assignment of tasks are impeding factors. Conclusion For a more needs-oriented, flexible, and nationwide introduction of HT according to
