Need for Change

Patients were constantly being hospitalized in and out of the inpatient unit.

There wasn’t a middle ground where patient can receive the intensive treatment they need without being hospitalized.

Patients who need intensive treatment four times a week have to go somewhere else because UnityPoint Health- St. Luke’s doesn’t offer a partial program.

Need for Change

Implementing a partial program would allow patients to receive intensive psychiatric treatment without the inpatient hospitalization.

The program would serve a lot more patients and the patients would be exposed to broader range of different expertise.

Collaborate with the outpatient behavioral health program in the research, development, and implementation of a partial program at UnityPoint Health- St. Luke’s.

Identifying The Change

The role of the change agent was to develop a partial brochure and curriculum.

Research, interviewing patients, reading and looking through various dialectical behavioral therapy skills training manuals.

Analyzing The Change Opportunity

Partial hospitalization fits into the continuum of mental healthcare as the option that combines the best facets of inpatient care (strict criteria and intensive) with the best outpatient care (schedule flexibility and lower cost).

Treatment must be vigorous and proactive with the intent to treat the serious presenting psychiatric symptoms.

Analyzed that dialectical behavioral therapy helps an individual identify their strengths and build on them so that the individual can feel better about themselves.

Analyzing The Change Opportunity

Very few cost for the partial brochure and curriculum

Partial Curriculum

Boundaries were set for the development

There needed to be a good flow of educational topics that transition from week to week

Therefore the topic couldn’t just be random

The flow would go Monday to Monday, Tuesday to Tuesday, and etc.

Rather Monday-Tuesday-Thursday-Friday

Partial Curriculum

Due to session length

The education topics needs to tie in with the cognitive activity

Divided the curriculum into weeks with specific educational topics and cognitive activities

Educational topics included anxiety, depression, anger management, coping skills, stress, feelings and symptoms, time management, healthy relationships and so much more

Partial Curriculum

Cognitive activities ranged from group discussions, creating crafts, to watching movies.

Each educational topic and activity was designed to provide the patients with a meaningful learning opportunity

Monitoring The Change

Developed a Gantt Chart

Kept the development of the partial brochure and curriculum on schedule

Weekly Wednesday meetings

Time to discuss the change process, show what was developed, and needed to be done after each action step was met.

Evaluating The Change

Developed a satisfactory survey for staffs and patients of the outpatient behavioral health program to monitor the process after the implementation

Will provide change agent with a reliable and effective tool to gather feedback on the partial brochure and curriculum from those staffs and patients involved.

Reassessing and Stabilizing

The partial brochure and curriculum will inevitably become part of UnityPoint Health-St. Luke’s Behavioral Health Unit.

Throughout the entire implementation of a partial hospitalization program I found the change team to be extremely helpful, encouraging, and supportive.

At the completion of the partial brochure and curriculum I believe that I have contributed a vital role in the change.
