The goal to safely assess and treat patients with dignity is creating a need for evolving facility designs, according to an article on the Behavioral Healthcare website.
Along with the development of primary care clinics that incorporate behavioral healthcare models, there has also been a move toward establishing crisis stabilization units and psychiatric emergency departments in hospitals, according to Elisabeth Perreault, Cannon Design.
Behavioral healthcare is increasingly being integrated into medically acute facilities and vice versa, creating more comprehensive settings of care.
Perreault said organizations have also turned their focus to expanding behavioral healthcare programs and inpatient capacity for children and adolescents in response to growing needs within communities.
