“…Nolan & Radakrishnan (1992) compared people with ID admitted to four specially designated beds in a general psychiatric ward of a university hospital with those admitted to the local mental handicap hospital. Ashaye et al. (1997) compared the symptoms and needs of people with ID aged 40 years or over resident in a mental handicap hospital or over with elderly mentally ill patients resident in a long‐stay psychiatric hospital.…”

Background Adults with intellectual disability (ID) and mental illness may use general or specialist psychiatric services. This review aims to assess if there is evidence for a difference in outcome between them. Methods A literature review was conducted using a variety of electronic databases and hand-search strategies to identify all studies evaluating the outcome of people with ID and mental illness using general psychiatric services. Results There is no conclusive evidence to favour the use of general or specialist psychiatric services. People with ID stay less time on general psychiatric than specialist inpatient units. People with severe ID appear not to be well served in general services. Older studies of inpatient samples suggest a worse outcome for people with ID. Novel specialist services generally improve upon pre-existing general services. Assertive outreach in general services may preferentially benefit those with ID. Recent studies suggest similar lengths

“…Concerns for the use of the HoNOS in assessing outcome have also been raised [12] as well as its utility in care planning [13]. Other papers have been more favourable, citing its usefulness in monitoring outcome measurement and research [14,15]. Papers have also used the HoNOS for criterion-related validity [15] for other instruments.…”

The Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) were developed to provide a single index in order to enable the government target 'to improve significantly the health and social functioning of mentally ill people' to be quantified. They were intended to be applicable to all adults (including older people), across a wide range of settings so that services in different localities could be compared and changes both within individuals and within services could be measured. In 1999 the HoNOS65+ was launched with a modified glossary for older people. The HoNOS has been formally adopted as the preferred outcome measure for adults of working age. There has been no such formal adoption of the HoNOS65+, or any other outcome measure, for mental health services for older people. This review summarises how the HoNOS was originally developed and validated. Studies with older people, which have used both the original definitions and those developed for the HoNOS65+ are reviewed focusing on data on the reliability and validity of the HoNOS and HoNOS65+ with older people. Finally the question of whether the HoNOS or HoNOS65+ is suitable as an outcome measure in routine clinical practice in services for older people is addressed.
