Thank you. I will check that website out. The nurses on our unit are open to ideas. There has to be a better way to meet JCAHO standards than what we have been currently doing.
I would like to hear from other psych nurses about how you do medication education on an acute care adult psych unit? JCAHO wants individualized med. ed., and yet our program is so group oriented. It is very difficult to get individualized time with a group session. Any suggestions?
The hospital I work at is currently using the Heinrich falls assessment tool. The RNs on our psych unit do not feel this tool is appropriate for a psych unit. I would also be open to hearing from others about a good falls risk assessment tool for a psych unit.
