Nationwide Uniform Scientific Evaluation of Flexible and Integrated Treatment Projects From 2022 Onwards

This study is an evaluation of flexible and integrated psychiatric care models (according to § 64b of the German Social Code Book V (SGB V)) (FIT) including new FIT projects starting after 2022 and the prolongation of any of 19 already established FIT projects (mainly at German psychiatric hospitals). The central concern of this evaluation is to answer the question whether FIT care offers advantages over standard care. The orientation of model care is a more cross-sectoral provision of services through more flexible psychiatric treatment intensities. However, FIT program structures depend on the individual situation and organization of the FIT hospital together with the participating statutory health insurance (SHI) funds.
