Results and Learning from the Healthy Outcomes for People with Eating Disorders (HOPE) New Care Model (Provider Collaborative) pilot: More investment required to address demand and capacity in adult community and inpatient eating disorder services

Abstract

This article reports on pilot results and lessons learned from the HOPE New Care Model (Provider Collaborative). Pre-pandemic 12 beds were needed per million population. Demand for beds could be reduced by addressing the variance in mean length of stay between inpatient providers and offering evidence-based inpatient and community treatments. More investment is required to address demand and capacity in both adult community and inpatient eating disorders services.
