Integrated Care
What is Integrated Care?
In cooperation with various health insurances including the DAK, HEK and IKK, the Workgroup Psychosis at the UKE offers integrated treatment for patients with psychosis and their relatives for a duration of 2 years. "Integrated" means that, on the structural level, all treatment units of the Workgroup Psychosis and various practicing psychiatrists cooperate even more closely, and that, on the level of contents, all treatment options can be used individually by the participating patients.
