Emergency departments are losing efficiency with the growing number of mental health patients being seen and cared for. One solution is to provide the appropriate environment to address specific needs of mental health patients. This webinar will examine the Behavioral Health Crisis Stabilization Unit as a case study, including direct outcomes achieved by the project. Since opening, the unit has had a positive effect on the ED, lessening mental health patients in the ED and decreasing the psychiatric inpatient admission rates for patients. Planning, design, and specific details of the unit will be discussed in depth to give webinar attendees working knowledge of how to approach and execute a similar unit.

 

Learning Objectives

  • State the challenges facing emergency departments when treating psychiatric patients.

  • Identify operational and design strategies to keep psychiatric patients out of the ED.

  • Explain how design of the environment can impact behavioral health patients.

  • List top safety considerations when designing a behavior health crisis stabilization unit.

Thanks to our Partners:

 

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s Webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate.
