First outpatient follow-up after psychiatric hospitalization: does one size fit all?
This study examined the timing of first outpatient follow-up and subsequent health care utilization for adults with serious mental illness (major depression or schizophrenia) and comorbid general medical conditions. It found that for patients not readmitted within 30 days, follow-up within 30 days appeared to be beneficial on the basis of subsequent service utilization.
