To the best of the authors knowledge, PCC has yet to be tested in an inpatient setting for persons with severe mental illness. Favorable results have been demonstrated with regard to both ward level and patient level outcomes from inpatient settings within somatic care. Person-centered care in geriatric settings, which might share some common issues with hospital care for persons with schizophrenia (decreased cognitive function, lack of insight, compromised autonomy), have shown positive outcomes for QoL and agitation in patients and job satisfaction for staff. Reviews show mixed results though. Thus, we wanted to evaluate an intervention for inpatient psychiatric care for persons with schizophrenia and similar psychoses. To this end, we developed Person-centered Psychosis Care (PCPC), a staff educational intervention involving components of PCC as well as IC. Person Centered Psychosis Care was defined as having four key elements; dialogue, building partnership, formulation and documentation of a health plan, and early involvement of the patient's outpatient facility. The latter means that the patient's outpatient-based social resource group can come into play already during the inpatient stay.
