Silver oaks can improve on patient care. Sometimes it feels like the hospital is only trying to make money and we are not taking appropriate patients. Silver oaks could be pickier about who they accept. I also think we should expand the units and separate high and low acuity units for men and women.

Continuum of care for other behavioral health services outside of inpatient and outpatient as well as communication with community partners and families of our patients.

Respect starts with the leadership.

Can improve on better respect among staff members

I believe that we need to work on having better trained staff and more staff to be exact. Sure, bodies are great and all but bodies that know what they are doing and how to handle a situation… whole different story. Also, it would be a good tool to have a step by step training manual for new nurses. The managers hardly ever work the floor anymore and are often not who these new nurses rely on to help them in their day to day job.

I think we should have more town hall meetings. Also I would love to see more team work with the nurses and MHTs ,it seems that we are divided when it comes to patients.MHTs don't feel supported.

Communication and consistency

staffing better

I do want there to be a much better respect amongst leadership and the different directors. It can be very high school like in leadership when there are disagreements and protocols that they may not like or agree with.

Staffing each unit appropriately. There should be at least one extra tech scheduled across the entire hospital that serves as a floater in case there is a code and a staff member is injured and required to sit with the patient.
