Psychiatric
care for
imminent
danger
Note: This year, as last year, we have used the data published by the SAE (Annual Statistics of
Health Facilities), an annual administrative survey carried out by the DREES with all health institutions,
but which has included a specific section dedicated to psychiatry since 2006. Unlike other psychiatryrelated sources (of which there are many but they are not all equally accessible: RIM-P, Rapsy, Hopsy
or figures of the Regional Commissions of psychiatric hospitals)51, this source has the advantage of
showing recent data (available every year on the previous year), and being relatively comprehensive.
Nevertheless, it has several drawbacks that must be kept in mind: the recording of the number of days
of hospitalisation by the SAE takes into account only full days of hospitalisation, and excludes
preliminary discharges that the RIM-P would have allowed distinguishing. Similarly, the SAE does not
allow monitoring patients individually, also unlike the RIM-P, which tracks individuals using their
national identifier. The same patient, treated in multiple institutions during the year, will therefore be
recorded several times. Finally, the recording of entries and the adopted measures has been subject to
several changes in definition and calculation method since 2010, which is why we have only shown the
number of days and patients here.
The second limit relates to the redefinition of hospitalisation measures by the Law dated 5 July
2011, the institution of which especially created the category of hospitalisation for imminent danger,
which added to hospitalisation on the request of a third party and hospitalisation on court order (which
For a more detailed presentation of these sources, reference will be made to the 2015 report and references given at the
end of this section.
