ABSTRACT

The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health's Metro South Area developed an inpatient psychosocial rehabilitation model called PRISM (The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Integrated Service Model) which emphasizes skill development and patient participation. This article describes the transformation of a state hospital into a rehabilitation treatment facility using the PRISM model. This approach has the potential to improve quality of life, decrease relapse, and increase the efficiency and responsiveness to patient needs of public sector hospitals.

ABSTRACT

Massachusetts has harnessed taxpayer dissatisfaction with government to support change. Restructuring has permitted the Department of Mental Health to shift resources from state hospitals to comprehensive community support systems, the foundation for the Department's public managed care initiative. A commitment to psychosocial rehabilitation principles and consumer choice have produced radical change in the delivery and composition of mental health care services. While quality and utilization management programs provide the infrastructure to ensure accountability, quality, and cost effectiveness, education and the building of partnerships support planning and promote progress.
