Abstract
The existing legal framework to foster home treatment for severe mental illness imposes challenges for implementation. 'Bremen ambulant vor Ort (BravO)' provides home treatment on basis of the "Bundespflegesatzverordnung". The concept and framework of BravO will be outlined, routine data on the BravO treatment from October 1st, 2019 to September 30th, 2021 were analysed. Financial and staff resources of 20 in-patient treatment places were equivalently transferred into BravO. 298 patients generating 392 cases received treatment. Median treatment span was 36 days, with 21 days (median) of service delivery. 74.7 % were diagnosed either in ICD-10 groups F2 or F3. BravO was successfully implemented into routine care. BravO allows flexible home treatment for people with severe mental illness apart from existing treatment framework.
