Content Outline Overview of Unity Services Emergency Psychiatry: Historical Perspective Emergency Psychiatry: Current Service Delivery models The Case for PES in Portland Questions for Future Planning Overview of Services in PES Psychiatry Training in PES What is our data telling us? What are the next steps for the PES?
Unity Center for Behavioral Health Unity Inpatient Services: Opened January 31, 2017 22 Inpatient Child and Adolescent Unit (ages 9-18) Formerly 16 bed unit at Randall Children s Hospital 80 Adult Inpatient Beds Four adult inpatient units Soon to add an additional 5 inpatient beds Formerly 90 beds operated between OHSU; Adventist Medical Center; Legacy Good Samaritan; Legacy Emanuel Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES): Opened February 2, 2017 Major innovation in mental health service delivery in Portland 3-4 years of collaboration, planning and fund raising Model of Care: Trauma Informed Pathways to Recovery
Emergency Psychiatry: Historical Perspective Community Mental Health Act: 1963 Emergence of SMI/ Homeless crisis in urban centers Funded development of CMHC s Converted to block grants to states during Regan Less than ½ of planned centers built Required that all funded centers provide for treatment of mental health emergencies Deinstitutionalization 1988: Requirement for emergency psychiatry training in psychiatry residency
Psychiatric Emergency Service: Delivery Models Psychiatric Emergency Services: PES Initially segregated areas of care in Medical ED s Development of payment systems Unity PES: Licensed component of Emanuel ED Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Programs (CPEP) Psychiatric Emergency Room Extended Observation Beds Mobile Crisis Teams Crisis Residence Non-hospital based Crisis Intervention/ Emergency Services Wide variety of models based on core desired outcomes Payer operated OR county OR local not-for profit Attached to services OR Integrated within CMHC s Inpatient Diversion Services ED consultation often delivered by Crisis Teams Mobile Crisis Services
The Case for PES In Portland Emergence and Increase of Mental Health Boarding in Medical ED s Often full evaluation did not occur in ED leading to increased admissions ED Divert time and delivery of necessary medical care impaired High cost impact Increased restraint rate Closure of POSH Strange bedfellows! (Collaboration of Partners) Fund Raising Success (Portland is generous)
Questions for the Future Are Emergency Psychiatric Services a permanent part of ideal community psychiatry services? Centralized vs localized If so, how to position between community based services and hospital Hospital based vs detached? Community services driven vs acute care driven Elaboration of the Psychiatry Practice model Differences in practice are significant, but poorly studied Problem focused vs comprehensive Triage based (demand dependent) vs definitive services Practice Guidelines Training Research
