reform mental health care. The “Concept on Mental Health Care” adopted by the Government and the two strategic plans for 2014–2020 and 2021–2031, which aimed to develop comprehensive evidence-based, culturally appropriate, and human rights-oriented mental health care, have promoted the deinstitutionalization and development of community mental health services. Since 2018, new standards of care for mental health ambulatories and mobile teams have been imposed and implemented in the state programme and funded accordingly. The study aimed to investigate the quality of care in community mental health services. As a result, we monitored the mental health ambulatories in all major cities and regional centres of the country (in total, 16 ambulatories) and the mobile teams which had at least two years of experience (in total, 14 mobile teams). The data analyses showed that the new standards for ambulatories and mobile teams increased access to and coverage of mental health care across the country. However, further effort is still needed to achieve comprehensive treatment by mental health care services.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В последние годы, в Грузии были предприняты большие усилия по реформированию системы охраны психического здоровья. В 2013 году правительством Грузии была утверждена «Концепция психиатрической помощи», а также разработаны два стратегических плана на 2014–2020 и 2021–2031 гг, что способствовало процессу деинституционализации и развитию внебольничных служб охраны психического здоровья. С 2018 года в государственной программе были введены новые стандарты оказания помощи для амбулаторий и мобильных бригад и соответственно изменилась система финансирования. Настоящее исследование направлено на изучение качества обслуживания внебольничных служб охраны психического здоровья. Анализ данных мониторинга амбулаторий психического здоровья во всех крупных городах и областных центрах страны (всего 16 амбулатории) и мобильных бригад, которые функционируют, не менее двух лет (всего 14 сервисов) показал, что ведение новых стандартов для внебольничных служб психического здоровья расширило доступ и охват психиатрической помощью по всей стране. Тем не менее необходимы дальнейшие усилия для развития всеобъемлющего, комплексного и основанного на биопсихосоциальном подходе системы психического здоровья в стране.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>quality of care</kwd><kwd>community mental health</kwd><kwd>mobile team</kwd><kwd>ambulatory</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>качество обслуживания</kwd><kwd>психическое здоровье</kwd><kwd>мобильная бригада</kwd><kwd>амбулатория</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>WHO Mental health action plan 2013–2020.
