● in the “SfantaMaria”Psychiatry Hospital of Vedea, Arges county, it was found that some of the checked observation reports included the date of release in advance; the claimed reason was that patients were proposed for release in the following month when the settlement threshold has been reached during the current month, as negotiated through the contract with the Health Insurance House of Arges; therefore, the patient’s date of release was postponed for financial reasons, related to the settlement of medical services, not for medical reasons. Recommendation: to release patients depending on their state of health; to specify the diagnostic upon release and the date of release strictly on the date of release of the patients - since the patients’ release was postponed for financial reasons, related to the settlement of medical services, and some FOCGs included the release date in advance/a changed date of release or no diagnostic upon release. Regarding psychological assistance: ● psychologists used a standard medical register used in the hospital, with improper headings for the provided psychological assistance; ● no psychological reports were drawn up and no protocols were elaborated pursuant to psychotherapy sessions; ● a register of special events was not drawn up; ● psychological practices did not have a computer with a printer; a computer had to be purchased for psychological practices, to facilitate the administration of tests and electronic records of psychological acts (assessments, counselling), keeping two copies of assessments included in the observation report, etc. (the Psychiatry Hospital of Gătaia, Timis county); Recommendations: ● to provide the required technical and methodological equipment for the psychologists’ professional activity; ● each psychologist should use the Register of professional acts, issued by the College of Romanian Psychologists, to be numbered, sealed and registered at the unit’s secretariat; ● psychologists should draw up individual intervention plans for each patient included in the counselling or psychotherapy programme, stipulating the objectives and recommended activities in order to reach the objectives; ● to intensify complementary mental health care services playing a part in the patients’ recovery, such as psychological counselling and psychotherapy and to fill in psychological counselling reports and psychotherapy protocols; ● to draw up a special events 104
