Problem
Increasing mental health patient acuity has negatively impacted staff workload, access to inpatient beds, safety and costs. While it is well-known that acuity is increasing in Behavioral Health inpatient settings, it is hard to quantify. For many facilities, the current acuity measurement and staffing adjustments are made manually and informed by observation without a formal, validated evaluation tool and approach.
