The Pathways to Community Living Initiative or PCLI is a ‘major system change’ in the approach to caring for people who have severe and persistent mental illness who have long hospital stays.
This report, based on the findings from the four year independent evaluation of the PCLI by the University of Wollongong and Health data sources, focuses on the group of people who are long-stay and also have significant ageing-related issues, many of whom have been in hospital for over 10 years.
