An Alternative to Hospitalization for Acute Mental Disorders

Home Treatment Accreditation Scheme

Assertive Community Treatment Teams have recognized program standards by which fidelity to the model can be judged. As far as I am aware , nothing like this has been available for intensive home treatment teams , until now. The staff of the British Royal College of Psychiatrists Centre for Quality Improvement ( CCQI) have put together a draft Home Treatment Accreditation Scheme ( HTAS) Pilot Edition -valid from April 2012 until early 2013, when it will be evaluated.
