Background: Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Mental Hospital plays an important role in mental health services, but still faces challenges in meeting the Minimum Service Standards (SPM). This study aims to analyze the policy to improve the performance of inpatient services according to SPM in this hospital by 2025
Methods: The method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach, involving in-depth interviews with key informants and supporters
Results: The results of the study showed that the availability of inpatient services had met most of the SPM indicators, although there were still obstacles in fulfilling the visiting hours of specialist doctors and handling fixation of ODGJ patients that exceeded 24 hours. Factors that affect the length of a patient's care day are not only related to clinical aspects, but also include social and economic conditions, as well as family involvement
Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening human resources, infrastructure, and cross-sectoral collaboration. Education to patients' families is also expected to reduce stigma and increase understanding of treatment. This research is expected to contribute to the formulation of more effective and sustainable mental health services policies in psychiatric hospitals.
