Abstract:

Objective: To describe the care provided in public psychiatric hospitals in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from 2002 to 2011, analyzing changes in the characteristics of services provided and patient profiles, in the context of health care reform. Methodology: Analysis of temporal series. Trend analysis using linear regressions. Results: There was a reduction in the number of emergency visits. Inversely, there was an increase in admissions, reduction of lengths of stay and no change on readmission rates. Patients from Belo Horizonte prevailed, however an increase demand by the population of the surrounding cities was observed. Over this period, there was a reversal in the morbidity prevalence of psychotic disorders to disorders due to use of alcohol and/or other drugs. The same trend was observed in the analysis of origin and morbidity of admissions. Conclusion: The alteration observed in the profile of treatment in public psychiatric hospitals in Belo Horizonte was concomitant with the progressive institution of mental health community services that probably have supplied the demands previously directed to these hospitals. Currently the psychiatric hospital is not the first, much less the only instance of treatment, however it was observed that they are still part of mental health network in Minas Gerais.
