Key Points

This study examines the impact of relocating a psychiatric crisis intervention unit on various clinical and satisfaction metrics.
Multi-method observational study comparing two patient cohorts pre- and post-relocation (N=625 pre, N=686 post)
Assessment included two outpatient clinician surveys analyzing location ratings and treatment satisfaction
Evaluation of patient demographics, diagnosis frequencies, and clinical outcomes post-relocation.
Lower frequency of affective disorders at the psychiatric hospital (Φ = − 0.124)
Patient satisfaction decreased post-relocation (mean 4.6 vs. mean 5.2, r = 0.23)
Clinician preference was strongly in favor of the general hospital setting (r = 0.78–0.81).
