Abstract
Child partial hospitalization programs provide specialized, intensive day treatment for children with significant social, emotional, and behavioral needs that warrant a higher level of care than outpatient therapy but a less intensive care setting than an inpatient unit. Due to a dearth of analyses on the long-term outcomes of these programs, the Bradley Hospital Children's Partial Hospital Program (CPHP) conducted a pilot outcomes study to investigate the impact of program participation on children's overall functioning and the transition to outpatient treatment, home and school since discharge. This study also attempted to improve follow-up survey completion rate by families by administering surveys via phone. The preliminary data from this follow-up survey suggest an overall positive impact of partial hospitalization on parent-reported child functioning and mental health. Parent perspectives on elements of the CPHP's interdisciplinary care approach were assessed in the context of current child functioning, including referrals to follow-up care, successful transitions to home and school environments, therapist and staff relationships, and overall program structure.
