For many health care providers within the acute psychiatric care system (especially trainees) there is moral injury that results from dehumanizing people to meet administrative/financial needs of large institutions. I did research and wrote a paper on this my last year of residency. Our comfort with a carceral model in mental health care is a real challenge to healing. Having spent years working in inpatient and emergency psychiatry, it takes a true expert with a huge heart to work in the ER in a way that invites and encourages people in crisis instead of forcing and detaining them. North Carolina has some of the most liberal involuntary commitment laws in the country and these are deployed for administrative convenience with regularity in health systems of all types. The historic shortage of emergency room space means involuntary commitment to get patients to any hospital that will take them is the norm. Meaning individuals go to the ER voluntarily and then cannot leave voluntarily and are taken by law enforcement to any inpatient facility in the state that will accept them. Sometimes people are a true danger to themselves and others and this is necessary. But nobody should ever be trapped against their will to profit a large corporation - this is happening now and it has to stop. We need legislative solutions - Acadia is opening a large hospital in Eastern NC and we need NC legislators to support patients’ rights as a counterbalance to a company that appears to be willing to trample them for profit.

What do you think of when you think of mental health treatments? You might envision therapy sessions, getting medication prescribed, going away to a residential or rehabilitation program, or even spending time in the hospital. However, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs) often don't come immediately to mind, despite their significant roles. These lesser-known alternatives are treatment options that bridge the gap between weekly outpatient therapy and residential treatment or full hospitalization. They effectively help address critical questions for those navigating the mental health care such as: "What options exist when outpatient therapy isn’t enough?” and What’s next after inpatient hospitalization or a residential program?” In our latest blog post, Clarity Clinic's Shelby Gordon, LCSW, explores PHP and IOP programs, what they are, and how they can help you. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #depression #mentalhealthchicago #phpiop

The beginning of the year can be a chaotic time for psychiatrists running busy outpatient practices. Many patients change insurance plans or reset deductibles, impacting how much each visit costs. Also, the American Medical Association rolls out changes to CPT® codes, and Medicare changes some rules around how to use certain codes. These—like death and taxes—are unavoidable. The good news is we’ve got you covered with our quick reference guide. Let’s take a look at what CPT® codes are changing in 2024, and what this means for your psychiatry practice. Here's what we'll cover in this guide: • Good News for Psychotherapy and HBAI Services • Telehealth Services Continue to be Supported • New Category III Codes for TMS and Psychedelics • Medicare Beneficiary Access: More Therapists Can Bill Medicare! • Caregivers and Social Determinants and Health Get New Codes • Minor Change to Evaluation and Management (E/M) Services Time-Based Billing Get the guide below: https://lnkd.in/duwemUTC

Today, 54% of U.S. hospitals have no psychiatrists on staff for inpatient care. That challenge is not only costly for health systems, but also prevents patients from receiving timely care when they need it. Fortunately, leveraging virtual behavioral health services in the inpatient setting can improve: - Continuity of care - Care team integration - Access to high-quality providers - Provider retention and satisfaction Download our guide on the benefits virtual care brings to inpatient psychiatric units here: https://lnkd.in/efBpWuBd #telehealth #healthcare #behavioralhealth #telepsychiatry

Sharing my new publication: Visitation Restrictions in Inpatient Psychiatric Settings: A Call for Connected Healing Available online at: https://lnkd.in/e2ZeUDSk In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General called attention to the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation, highlighting the healing effects of social connection and community. Unfortunately, individuals admitted to inpatient psychiatric settings are often deprived of social connection due to highly restrictive visiting practices. I recently called inpatient psychiatric units in different regions of the U.S. to inquire about their visiting schedules, as I had expected, most had 1 to 2 hours of visiting per day (in the Northeast, 50% of the sites I called reported having 1 hour of visitation per day)- and many were during the early evening hours 5pm-7pm- In other settings, visiting was only allowed 2 to 3 times per week. So, for individuals who must work, care for children after school, or have other obligations, visiting a loved one admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit may be nearly impossible. In addition, most inpatient psychiatric units do not allow the use of personal electronic devices, such as cell phones, laptops, or tablets. Often the patient phone on the unit, already on a limited use schedule, may be the only means of socially connecting with their loved ones while in treatment. As I wrote in my article, “Admission to an inpatient psychiatric unit can bear significant trauma, stigma, vulnerability, and emotional distress given the limitations of the clinical environment, such as restrictive visiting practices. By virtue, admission to an inpatient psychiatric contributes to a loss of autonomy and loss of self-determination.” In addition, admission to an inpatient psychiatric setting also jeopardizes one’s access to the healing effects of social connection, or what I refer to in my article as “connected healing”. The U.S. Surgeon General recognizes social connection as a “fundamental human need”, one that is as “essential to survival as food, water, and shelter”. Limited visiting schedules are depriving individuals admitted to inpatient psychiatric settings of their “fundamental human need”. As a former director of patient care at a facility that provides inpatient psychiatric care, as a former preceptor of undergraduate nursing students on several inpatient psychiatric units, and having had personal experiences in inpatient psychiatric settings- I felt obligated to write this article. This is MY call for Connected Healing in inpatient psychiatric settings!

PMDD & PME Specialist. Helping you get off the emotional rollercoaster and go from surviving to striving
Can you help improve PMDD Education for Health Professionals by signing this petition? Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder or PMDD is cyclical, hormone-based condition with symptoms arising during the premenstrual, or luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. It affects 5.5% of women/AFAB individuals of childbearing age. Some research suggest that this number is up to 8%. It is not your regular PMS. PMDD symptoms can be extremely debilitating. PMDD can cause severe emotional, professional, and personal harm to those who have it. Those with PMDD are at increased risk for suicide and suicidal behaviour. PMDD can feel like a "half-life". PMDD can feel like "one week of hell and three weeks of cleaning up". @IAPMD - International Association for PMDD & PME PMDD remains under-recognized and poorly understood within the medical community. More awareness and education about PMDD is needed! Can you help by signing this petition? https://chng.it/p2RRPDxYBr #PMDD #PME #PMDCommunity #PMDAwareness #MentalHealth #iapmdchamps #PremenstrualDysphoricDisorder #HormoneSensitivity #PremenstrualExacerbation #PMS #PMDS #PMDDpeeps #sparkchangepmd #pmddawareness #premenstrual #periodstruggles #periodproblems #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #pmt #menstruationmatters #menstruation #menstrualhealthPatients

Assisted Outpatient Treatment is essential in today's outpatient world, waiting until one meets dangerousness criteria to provide treatment is outdated and inhumane. 48 states now have an AOT law - I am thrilled that the White House has made AOT a research priority. There needs to be a focus on standards of best practices so there is continuity in the way these programs are implemented. Rather than having so much division as to whether a program is voluntary vs involuntary we should all be working together to set up programs that are person-centered, compassionate and evidence-based. There is no one-size-fits-all approach - "Court-ordered treatments like AOT should only be used for the subset of people with serious mental illness who may need them when voluntary treatment has failed." Failing to acknowledge what is happening across the country in not treating this population is not the answer. NAMI Massachusetts #shatteringsilence #right2treatment #treatmentb4tragedy
I am thrilled to share my latest publication, "Critical Gaps in Assisted Outpatient Treatment Research in the United States,” published online today in the Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research. The White House Biden-Harris Administration included the implementation of AOT as an under-researched area in need of further study in their list of mental health research priorities in 2023. We identify some of the major gaps in the research literature surrounding outpatient civil commitment and call on research institutions, funders, and publishers to respond to the call and prioritize the further investigation of the practice of AOT for people with SMI.
