What fall interventions do you have in place at your facility? I find that the fall interventions we currently use are geared for inpatient that have hospital beds and IVs etc. Just looking for ideas.

What system do you all have in place at your current facility to deal with aggressive patients. Do you have a code team that responds when a code is called or does any and everyone available respond?

Thanks for your feedback!

@adnrnstudent what are some of your expectations for the day per patient?

I currently work in a psychiatric facility with 34 beds available on the acute side. Typically staffed with 4 nurses including charge nurse and 4 MHTS. As of now, our patient info (diagnosis, medical hx, age, etc) is typed in a word document and the charge nurse deletes and adds info as patients are admitted and discharged. This is what we use to give report. This can be very tedious on busy days. Also the charge nurse gives report to all the incoming shift (MHT & RN) I'm looking for ideas on how to improve our current report process. How do you all that work in Psych currently do report? Nurse to Nurse? Charge nurse to all incoming shift? Do you have patients info typed up in a word document or excel? Or does each nurse write down pertinent info to pass on? Any input is greatly appreciated. TIA
