Access Hospital Case Study

The first thing that patients will need to decide is if they want an inpatient or outpatient program. An inpatient program means that the patient stays at the facility 24 hours a day. They are continuously supervised for their physical comfort and to prevent a relapse. This option is often best because of the intensity of care and the medical

There are many governmental agencies within the healthcare system. One of most interesting and heart-wrenching agencies is a local governmental agency called Terrell State Mental Hospital. This agency is well known in the state of Texas for its carefree healthcare. They have a longstanding relationship with the families of its patients and are a major contributor to the city of Terrell’s financial windfall. They produce over ten million a year for the city of Terrell, which allows this city to take care of its mental inpatients and make sure they have the best treatment possible.

Fisher and Harrison (2009), explain that inpatient treatment is positive for social interactions and decreased isolation. When touring the facility the patients were spending time together showing decreased isolation between them. The patients frequently have outings to activities such as a ropes course or attending community AA or NA meetings. Lakeside Milam has 24 hour care for its patients which make it less likely that the patients will use a substance while in treatment (Fisher & Harrison, 2009).

Our facility in (location) has a strong reputation for successfully helping patients regain their footing in life, allowing them to go on to live happy and productive lives. This is accomplished by providing them access to a full service treatment program that addresses all aspects of their addiction.

Thank you for your response regards to "Rolling Meadows Community Hospital". John did not act in a fairly manner by not giving the intern the position. Even though John did confess his truly feelings it still ended up being an altercation not only for him but the hospital as well. I agree where you stated "This provide an understanding that just because one doesn’t physically touch or ask for physical contact doesn’t mean you can’t get in trouble for comment." I believe John felt like he could get away with this case just because he was the CEO of the hospital but it obviously does not matter what type of position you hold in a work environment; this should not be tolerated at any work environment.

The final item of business brought up was the vision for system integration in behavioral health. There was plenty of discussion focused on this since it is a new introduction but a much needed policy that needs to be put into place. Included in this discussion was the possibility of implementing behavioral health homes in Nebraska. Many other states have implemented behavioral health homes and some have worked out well and others have failed. One member brought up the big picture concern of behavioral health homes and how they are to take care of those with multiple morbidities since they are very complicated patients and healthcare workers tend to shy away from them. Nobody knew the answer to solve this concern but the committee planned how they should be thinking about what approach to take to make the behavioral health system more integrated. Today’s discussion about the vision for system integration was just the beginning of what is going to be handled at the next meeting.

Significant health disparities between rural and urban populations have been a major concern in the United States. One prominent factor contributing to the disparities is lack of access to quality care in rural areas which is closely associated with challenges faced by rural health care providers (National Rural Health Association, 2007). Rural hospitals are the key health care provider in rural areas, offering essential health care services to nearly 54 million people (American Hospital Association, 2006). They face a series of challenges such as workforce shortages, rise in health care costs, difficulty in finding access to capital, difficulty in

Heritage Oaks Hospital provides a less restrictive step-down treatment environment at three outpatient centers: Harbor Oaks in West Sacramento serves adults and senior adults; Roseville Oaks serves adolescents, adults, and senior adults; and Winding Oaks next to the main hospital serves adults and senior adults. According to course textbook, the goal of outpatient programs is to improve quality of life and to return clients to daily activities among family, peers, and the community (Varcarolis, 2013). The treatments available include psychiatric, emotional, behavioral, and substance abuse. These outpatient centers have partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP). According to the hospital website, outpatient services include physician oversight, medication management, group therapies, educational practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) (heritageoakshospital.com, 2017). I was assigned to Roseville Oaks Outpatient Behavioral Health Center. It was helpful for me to

The building is separate in two parts: the resident treatment center “Harold Drive” and the gambling and community service center “Santiam House”. Both buildings are safe, confidential, and therapeutic. The whole treatment program is divided into three parts: residential medical program, outpatient program, and correction program. This program strongly emphasizes freewill, so people can choose whether they go to counseling, do the medical detoxification, continue the treatment programs or not.

In the in-patient programs patients live in a facility 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They go to counseling sessions every day, some are individual sessions, some are group sessions, some are family sessions, and some are multi-family sessions. The person's life is very controlled. This control helps give stability to a person's life, a stability that was most probably lacking before they came into the clinic.
