Operational Transformation
At a large academic tertiary medical center, an Integrated Medication Assisted Treatment (IMAT) program has been established for those medically stable inpatients with an addiction diagnosis. Over a four month period, this program had experienced a decline in attendance and a quality improvement project was initiated is to better understand the barriers to attendance and institute a process that would reverse the decline.
A goal was established to improve attendance by medically stable patients that have consented to participate to a minimum of 50%.

Background:
Early intervention in major mental illness promises to improve the lives of those identified.
• But could identifying youth as at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis also do harm given that the majority never develop a psychotic disorder?

• Within the context of a larger study of stigma in CHR, we compared emotional responses to the CHR concept assessed before and after clinical feedback by study …

Background:
• Social situations can have a significant impact on young people’s mood and mental experiences.
• More specifically, we want to know how someone’s perceived social influence in social situations relates to their mood and psychotic symptoms.
• Past studies have found connections between lower perceived social status (rank, comparison, and related concepts) and psychotic symptoms anxiety, depression, and other mood related psychopathology.
• We use experience sampling methods to capture moment-to-moment changes in mood and psychotic symptoms in a variety of social settings.

Reducing Length Of Stay For Mental Health Patients, Faye Collins, Nancijean Goudey
Maine Medical Center
Background:
Our facility sees an average of over 200 mental health patients every month, with limited community resources. The length of stay (LOS) for these patients had slowly risen to unacceptable levels; the number of patients whose LOS was greater than 24 hours increased in fiscal year (FY) 2017, from 633 patients to 1145. Patients in crisis require expedited transfer to appropriate care locations. Our goal was to decrease the overall length of stay for mental health patients in the Emergency Department.
