A Retrospective Evaluation of Factors Influencing Successful Outcomes on an Inpatient Psychiatric Crisis UnitWest Haven Veterans Administration Medical Center This retrospective chart review conducted by a Veterans Administration Medical Center social worker examined 69 records from inpatients receiving services at a short-term crisis intervention unit (CIU) between July 1985 and March 1986. The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of CIU patients successfully discharged to the community (n = 41) versus those requiring a transfer to a long-term care unit (n = 28). Treatment compliance and family support were found to be significant factors associated with successful program completion.
