AccountabilityClear expectations of staff

There is a perceived need for additional Charge Mental Health Technicians (MHTs) on the unit. At times, nursing staff report limited time to manage MST responsibilities effectively, particularly during break coverage and high-acuity periods, which can increase workflow pressure on nurses.Having a dedicated Charge MHT overseeing multiple units per floor may help improve patient flow, behavioral support, and staff coverage coordination.It is also noted that only some MHTs consistently demonstrate strong performance, including appropriate patient engagement and adherence to unit policies.

Staff should be compensated based on their experience and length of employment with the organization. A new graduate nurse with zero experience in SPBH makes the same wages with an experienced nurse of 5 yrs and works with the organization for 2 yrs.Improve on adequately staffing the units.Expedite the belongings process. Patient should not wait for 2-3 days to get their prescription glasses/solution or denture supplies.
