Child or adolescent psychiatric inpatient units are expensive; therefore, a lot is expected of them. Short stay units are best used for diagnostic clarification, the initiation and supervision of complex treatment, and acute containment of risk. Longer stay units provide a recovery‐focused programme to address mental health problems that have not responded to intensive treatment in other settings. Both types of unit form part of the wider system of care that supports young people with mental health problems. The operational characteristics of such units will ensure timely, safe and effective interventions to young people who will likely go on to receive most of their clinical care in the community.

辩论：住院单位必须加强护理系统

儿童或青少年精神科住院病房价格昂贵；因此，人们对他们寄予厚望。短期停留单元最适合用于诊断澄清、复杂治疗的启动和监督以及风险的急性控制。长期住宿单位提供了一个以康复为重点的计划，以解决在其他环境中对强化治疗没有反应的心理健康问题。这两种类型的单位都构成了更广泛的护理系统的一部分，该系统为有精神健康问题的年轻人提供支持。这些单位的运作特点将确保对可能继续在社区接受大部分临床护理的年轻人进行及时、安全和有效的干预。
