Inpatient

The way we run psychiatric units has not changed in decades. On an inpatient psychiatric unit, patient’s are often in distress, after all they are there because they were suicidal, unable to stop alcohol/drug use or suffering from psychosis. Nursing is often left to try and work with patients 1 on 1 with little training on how to do so other than an acute agitation intervention like CPI. Once we get to that point people get hurt and patients are re-traumatized. This is also increasingly difficult given nursing to patient ratios necessary in today’s healthcare. The Richard’s method utilizes smart devices to easily connect staff and patients with digital content. It can safely and effectively be used by anyone who can use a smart phone or ipad. Many units are already equipped with ipads. The unit where I work has been safely utilizing an ipad with patients for years.

The interventions can safely be integrated with any medication regimen and used alongside any therapy technique.

Often, we are unable to access mental health services for patients after discharge for months afterward. This leads to patients suffering and high readmission rates. Since the Richard’s Method can be used by the patient after discharge, this connects patients to skills they can use to increase tolerating symptoms, reduce symptoms and build resilience. It can also help get them to their first therapy appointment and improve outcomes once in treatment.

Outpatient

Overwhelmed with the number of patients? Dealing with too many patients in crisis to get ahead? Are your wait times for appointments too long?

With the Richard’s Method the patient will be connected in real time through a smart device to multiple skills that can be used in a moment of crisis, before their first appointment, in between appointments and can integrate into their therapy and medications. It can help increase people’s ability to tolerate symptoms, reduce symptoms and build resilience. A patient phones and says they are having a meltdown? You can refer them to a quick video from the library they can use to soothe their symptoms and help calm. This helps connect the patient with something that helps in the now moment. It also takes the opportunity to connect them to an intervention they can continue to use in all phases of treatment in the moment they are most susceptible to change. The motivation to make change and build new habits occurs highest in that moment of crisis. Staff are not available 24 7 but we can maximize that opportunity by having a program that IS available to the patient 24 7.
