They will discuss residential treatment and how effective it is for treating OCD and severe anxiety in children and teens.

Drs. Eken and Jacobi will be co-presenting the following talks:

Patient care continues to be key for new inpatient facility

When Rogers Memorial Hospital’s new inpatient programs open to the public in the coming weeks, everyone will finally have a chance to see the how the facility and its amenities have been intentionally designed to embrace Rogers’ patient-centered approach to care.

These facilities have been designed, from the very start, as a way to provide improved accessibility, safety and privacy for our patients and their families, said Terri Schultz, Vice President of Nursing at Rogers.

Second Floor

This photograph from the vantage point of the second-floor nursing station shows design elements that exemplify the patient experience inside Rogers' newest facilities..

For example, on each floor of the new inpatient building, the patient care areas incorporate natural light and pleasant furnishings to create a warm, welcoming environment.

“While each program has open spaces which promote positive socialization and engagement, they are balanced with private consultation rooms for individual therapy, family therapy, and visiting. This balance enhances patients’ connection to their surroundings, which is critical to engaging them in the treatment and the recovery process,” said Schultz.

The design and execution of this facility puts Rogers’ patients at the center of decision-making related to their care. “Our staff collaborates with each patient and family to engage them in the process of identifying and solving problems which may have brought them here,” said Schultz.

“It starts with a comprehensive assessment by members of the treatment team, aimed at finding out what motivated the patient to seek treatment and identify what obstacles are holding them back from making progress toward recovery.”

Based on this information, the treatment team designs an individually tailored treatment plan which builds on identified strengths and mobilizes the patient’s own resources for change.

“By building a strong alliance with the patients, our staff help them recognize and amplify their strengths and provide them with strategies to achieve a more productive and satisfying life,” Schultz said.

Video: Treatment of Choice

Doctors Peter M. Lake, MD, and Bradley C. Riemann, PhD, talk about some of the effective treatment approaches at the Child and Adolescent Center.

The treatment experience at the Child and Adolescent Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital consists of evidence-based treatments delivered by some of the nation’s premier psychiatric experts. Whether a child responds best to cognitive-behavioral therapy, experiential therapy, medication, or (likely) a combination of approaches, the treatment teams at Rogers’ centers empower every patient with tools to help them recover from their illness.

The Child and Adolescent Center’s Treatment of Choice

Lake: It starts with Rogers’ environment. I mean, it’s just a gorgeous, dream come true as far as having a setting that initially makes people feel comfortable.

Riemann: Cognitive-behavioral therapy is the treatment of choice for anxiety disorders, and not just anxiety disorders, but other disorders as well.

Lake: There’s a huge advantage if you can do a therapy called experiential therapy, which is basically using regular activities, regular life experiences, to augment but also sometimes just engage children and adolescents in life.

Riemann: The approaches that we use are really have been widely researched for decades. And there’s just a tremendous amount of empirical support behind what we’re doing.

Lake: Part of that starts with the family and parents feeling comfortable. And part of it is that you have some grounds and facilities, some lake front, woods, campfires, ropes and challenge course, hiking trails, because you have to play with kids. Kids have to play. And that’s how you get to know ‘em. That’s how you see how they’re doing, see them interact socially, and in a variety of settings. And we have that all right here on our campus.

Riemann: So the, you know, the pay off is just to see that difference. And to see that they now have hope. For the future. That they can go on and lead a fulfilling life.

Lake: So to be able to practice some real life, here and now, in vivo tasks really helps motivate the kids that they’re going to get better.

How do we turn the tide, while allowing patients in need to still receive pain relief from doctors when they need it?
