The goal of the follow-on project between the LVR-Klinik Langenfeld and the Lviv Regional Clinical Psychiatric Hospital is to support the provision of psychiatric care close to patients’ homes by driving forward the decentralisation of the Kulparkov Clinic with the help of consultations.
Background:
Psychiatric care in the Lviv Oblast is currently provided by the Kulparkov Clinic in the city of Lviv. Since the hospital is very overcrowded, the clinic is to be decentralised by setting up branches in rural areas in order to ensure comprehensive care for mentally ill people. In order for this to happen, the managers of the clinic must be able to use suitable management tools to control the decentralisation process.
Activities:
- Arranging temporary work placements for staff from the Kulparkov Clinic and the decentralised locations
- Advising managers at the Kulparkov Clinic and in the local government
- Providing training to managers at the Kulparkov Clinic
Impact:
The project aims to support the decentralisation of the major hospital in Lviv so as to be able to provide local psychiatric care to mentally ill patients in the Lviv Oblast.
The transfer of organisational and treatment-related expertise aims to optimise treatment at the branches and the main clinic in the long term.
