Abstract
The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health's Metro South Area developed an inpatient psychosocial rehabilitation model called PRISM (The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Integrated Service Model) which emphasizes skill development and patient participation. This article describes the transformation of a state hospital into a rehabilitation treatment facility using the PRISM model. This approach has the potential to improve quality of life, decrease relapse, and increase the efficiency and responsiveness to patient needs of public sector hospitals.
