At A Glance
|
The field of hospital psychiatry has faced unimaginable challenges and opportunities during the last decade. Even as we continue to fight COVID-19, the century's greatest public health crisis, the need for behavioral health treatments continues to increase. Providers and policymakers agree that integrating behavioral treatments into regular courses of patient care helps address post discharge needs, including safe housing, reliable transportation, and nutrition. Behavioral wellness is currently benefiting from increased public attention, but disparities in access continue to plague people of color and members of the LGTBQIA+ community, who often struggle to find culturally competent treatment. There is a significant need for dedicated psychiatric hospitals and dedicated units in general hospitals to meet America's mental health needs. Learn more and order here.

Features

Part I explores issues around inpatient care in different age groups (child, adolescent, adult, geriatric) and different conditions (neuropsychiatric, eating disorders, forensics, psychotic, and substance abuse disorders), as well as specific issues applicable to state and veterans' hospitals. Part II covers the expansion of hospital-based outpatient services for community mental health, residential programs, and emergency services. Part III discusses issues and challenges related to operational issues, administration, and leadership. Part IV examines issues involving various levels of care providers in the workforce. The final part addresses the future of psychiatry and emerging models. |

| This is a comprehensive book devoted to the various facets involved in developing and managing a comprehensive, hospital-based psychiatric program with multiple levels of care. Due to financing, staffing, and healthcare reimbursement issues, most community programs face difficulties in achieving their goals. This book provides a detailed roadmap of the necessary tools to develop exceptional standards of care and the challenges that need to be faced. |
