Note: This year, as in previous years, we have used the data published by the SAE (Annual
Statistics of Health Facilities), an annual administrative survey carried out by the DREES among all
health institutions, and which has included a specific section on psychiatry since 200676. This survey
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 only takes account of full days of
hospitalisation, excluding preliminary discharges, and does not enable individual monitoring of
patients. The same patient, treated in multiple institutions during the year, will therefore be recorded
several times. Finally, recording of entries and 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 is today known as admission to psychiatric treatment on the request of a State representative,
see below). This new category-based classification has therefore made year-to-year comparison
difficult.
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.
