Description

Patients and staff are often caught between the tension associated with balancing a culture of healing and a culture of safety in a post-pandemic world. This roundtable will address safety challenges and discuss innovative strategies for balancing a culture of safety while advancing the culture of a person-centered healing environment. Moderators will discuss the “recovery model,” which is a holistic, person-centered approach and standard model of mental health care. Although a gold standard scale to assess patients’ satisfaction with behavioral health services has not been established, evidence-based practices demonstrate the clinician-patient relationship is a key component of satisfaction scales and outcomes.
