Note: These tables show a dual limit in constructing statistical series as regards psychiatric
hospitalisations.
Firstly, the diversity of the sources: the previous reports used figures from the RIM-P
(Collection of medical information for psychiatry), a database set up by the Technical Agency on
Hospitalisation Information (ATIH) in 2008. This database provides the advantage of describing,
in particular detail, the different actions (including the most informal ones) conducted on the
patients; moreover, its comprehensiveness improves year by year. However, it could only be of
reasonable use from 2010, and access to it is restricted. Along with this first national database, there
are other sources that are not as up-to-date and are difficult to consult – such as the Rapsy surveys
(Activity reports in psychiatry) conducted by the DREES, but which have not been repeated since
2009; or, pertaining to only healthcare without consent, the reports of the Regional Commissions
of psychiatric hospitals or the Hopsy database, managed by the DDASS since 1994.
The diversity of the sources and calculation methods resulted in retaining, for this year,
only the data of the SAE (Annual statistics of healthcare institutions), an administrative survey
conducted annually by the DREES on all healthcare institutions, and which has included a specific
psychiatry section since 2006. 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
