From Admission to Discharge: A Scoping Review on the Scientific Foundations for implementation of the DUNDRUM Toolkit in Danish Forensic Psychiatry

This scoping review addresses the challenges in Denmark's admission, referral, transfer, and discharge of forensic psychiatric patients. Currently, it relies on individual psychiatrists' assessments, leading to inconsistent decisions. The study focuses on the DUNDRUM Toolkit's scientific foundations and its potential impact on forensic psychiatry in Denmark. Given the complexity of forensic patients and the demand for secure placements, waiting lists grow, hindering timely care. Following the JBI Manual, the scoping review aims to explore evidence on the DUNDRUM Toolkit, incorporating diverse methodologies and consultations. Results are pending but aim to inform improvements in forensic psychiatric practices in Denmark.
