Abstract |
A comprehensive programme of cost-effective mental health care services for employees of the First National Bank of Chicago and their dependents is described. The programme includes: an employee assistance programme; a review of psychiatric hospital utilization; access to consulting psychiatrists; and benefit plan design changes. A four-year follow-up investigation of the programme revealed management of overall mental health care costs, reduction in in-patient psychiatric hospitalization costs and reduction in the average length of psychiatric short-term disability episodes. |
