“…A growing body of literature indicates that specialised inpatient units offer better outcomes than existing psychiatric units for the general population (Charlot, 2016; Gabriels et al, 2012; Taylor et al, 2019). However, in view of the tendency to use more restrictive interventions and problems with delayed discharges, inpatient services should ideally be reserved for situations in which complex medical/pharmacological treatment interventions are necessary and reducing polypharmacy is a goal (Lake et al, 2014). The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (2018) guidelines also indicate that inpatient admissions should only be considered after all community-based resources are exhausted.…”

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities sometimes engage in challenging behaviours. When behaviours escalate to the point where they pose imminent risk to the safety of people and environments, a crisis occurs that jeopardises community living and participation. In these situations, timely access to crisis stabilisation services is required. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to synthesise evidence on effective crisis stabilisation service models for challenging behaviours. A total of 46 publications met the inclusion criteria. The literature describes a spectrum of crisis stabilisation services of varying intensities including: outreach, outpatient, inpatient, respite, and capacity building through education and training. However, there is limited guidance on how to best structure service models. This review highlights the need for comprehensive and person-centred programme evaluations.

There is very limited evidence on the organisation of healthcare services for persons with an intellectual disability. There are currently no well-designed studies focusing on organising the health services of persons with an intellectual disability and concurrent physical problems. There are very few studies of organisational interventions targeting mental health needs and the results of those that were found need corroboration. There is an urgent need for high-quality health services research to identify optimal health services for persons with an intellectual disability and concurrent physical problem.
