The <strong>LVR</strong>-<strong>Klinikum</strong> <strong>Düsseldorf</strong> provides psychiatric and<br />
psycho<strong>the</strong>rapeutic care (under <strong>the</strong> German statutory<br />
health insurance regulations) for approximately 520,000<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 600,000 inhabitants <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> city <strong>of</strong> <strong>Düsseldorf</strong> (i.e.<br />
all citizens except for those who live in <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />
suburbs <strong>of</strong> Angermund, Kaiserswerth, Kalkum, Lörick,<br />
Lichtenbroich, Lohausen, Stockum and Unterrath). In<br />
1998, <strong>the</strong> hospital’s municipal target area was subdivided<br />
into three sectors (Figure 1), to which dedicated<br />
admission wards, sector wards and day clinic units <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>LVR</strong>-<strong>Klinikum</strong> are allocated.<br />
Cooperation with <strong>the</strong> municipal<br />
government is close and includes<br />
regular sector conferences<br />
Hubbelrath with all institutions involved in<br />
<strong>the</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> healthcare to<br />
people with mental illnesses.<br />
Because <strong>of</strong> its major contribution to <strong>the</strong><br />
provision <strong>of</strong> mental healthcare, <strong>the</strong> <strong>LVR</strong>-<strong>Klinikum</strong><br />
<strong>Düsseldorf</strong> was closely involved in <strong>the</strong><br />
compilation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 2007 report by <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Düsseldorf</strong> health authorities about<br />
<strong>the</strong> situation <strong>of</strong> people with mental<br />
Unterbach disorders. A project partly funded by<br />
<strong>the</strong> Landschaftsverband Rhineland to<br />
optimise regional mental healthcare<br />
Hassels<br />
and <strong>the</strong> cooperation with community<br />
mental health teams (“Sozialpsychiatrische<br />
Zentren”) was successfully implemented<br />
and was awarded <strong>the</strong> “Gesundes<br />
Land NRW 2009” prize <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> State<br />
Garath <strong>of</strong> North Rhine-Westphalia. The<br />
<strong>LVR</strong>-<strong>Klinikum</strong> also plays a major<br />
Hellerh<strong>of</strong> role in <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> supraregional<br />
healthcare, not least because <strong>of</strong> its function<br />
as a university department. The Division <strong>of</strong> Child<br />
and Adolescent Psychiatry provides mental healthcare for<br />
an area with 1.9 million inhabitants that comprises <strong>the</strong> city<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Düsseldorf</strong> and <strong>the</strong> neighbouring county <strong>of</strong> Mettmann.<br />

The development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> cases, average lengths <strong>of</strong><br />
stay and diagnosis patterns from 1999 until 2009 is shown in<br />
Table 1 and Figures 2 and 3. The statistical trends observed<br />
at <strong>the</strong> <strong>LVR</strong>-<strong>Klinikum</strong> reflected a nationwide development: an
