As I read Christopher Earley's post, I thought about how similarly -extremely- seriously nurses must take the initial admission assessment. 📝 In behavioral health, an individualized, comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment of the patient is conducted or updated by the interdisciplinary treatment team who are knowledgeable about mental health treatment. ⚕️🧠🤼♂️ This assessment is used to confirm the appropriateness of level of care placement and to help guide the individualized treatment planning process, which is focused on the patient’s strengths, needs, abilities, preferences, and desired goals. 🏨 Meeting with patients - or educating staff - to perform a thorough assessment using empathy, active listening, and motivational interviewing is not only critical groundwork for a positive treatment outcomes, but one of my favorite parts of nursing leadership. 🕊👩🏫 May be of interest, Bill Rivell. www.drassassociates.com #assessments #qualityimprovement #data #outcomes #outcomesresearch #outcomesmonitoring #qualityassurance #performancemanagement #resultsdriven #datadriven #healthcarecompliance #mentalhealthprofessionals #mentalhealthnurse #mentalhealthnursing #nurseexecutive #behavioralhealthconsultant #nurseconsultant #experiencematters #hopeandhealing #passionandpurpose #motivationalinterviewing #biopsychosocialassessment #treatmentplanning #behavioralhealthcare #substanceusedisorders #patientexperience #patientadvocate #accesstocare #behavioralhealth #evidencebasedpractice #standardofcare #legalnurseconsultant
