Abstract

Increasing complex behavioral health visits to the Emergency Department necessitated comprehensive inter-professional team training to ensure therapeutic behavioral patient management. The purpose of this training was to deliver patient simulation scenarios to multi-disciplinary teams focusing on recognition of patient agitation, employment of de-escalation techniques, utilization of therapeutic communication, and successful application of physical and/or chemical restraints.
