Integrated Medicine is a 24-bed unit that provides a safe environment for medical and surgical patients who also have behavioral needs. This unit takes an innovative approach to serve patients’ complex medical and behavioral needs in one thoughtfully designed location. Extensive safety features such as video monitoring technology and anti-elopement measures are integrated to ensure a safe and therapeutic environment for our staff, patients, and visitors. We aim to remember that we are working in the patient’s home away from home rather than having the mindset that these patients are visiting our workspace. RN Staff will be working with Care Team Associates (nurse techs), Milieu Specialists, Therapy Professionals, and dedicated physician staff to provide comprehensive patient care with 4/5:1 RN ratios. Service line supervisors provide 24/7 support to nursing staff. The secure unit has all private rooms, with an open floor plan allowing for patients to socialize and work on community skills with the assistance of our Milieu Specialist. A dedicated Behavioral Health Social Worker assists with meeting the patient’s discharge planning needs so that they are able to discharge to the most appropriate and least restrictive environment. Daily interdisciplinary huddles occur to ensure patient care is cohesive and complete.
