Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Healthcare Administration (D.H.A.), Franklin University, Health Programs.
Mental illness is a growing concern among families in the United States, as one in five children between the ages of 13 and 18 suffer from a severe mental illness (National Alliance on Mental Illness, 2013). That means that 20% of children in the country are suffering from an illness whose treatment is difficult to access. Unfortunately, one-fourth of families report problems finding and initiating services for their children, with wait lists that typically start at three months (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2013). Even more troubling is the fact that 80% of children with mental illness do not receive any treatment at all (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2013). However, to improve access to treatment, organizations need to feel confident that they can open safe, financially sustainable mental health units. The Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) in California recently opened an 18-bed inpatient psychiatric unit that services children ages 3-17 (Perkes, 2016). Many months of thoughtful consideration occurred to develop this elite and cutting-edge model of care. This researcher developed a specific model to approach pediatric mental healthcare through a different lens, called The Core Value Driven Care Model. The model of care is centered around three pillars of focus firmly built on the groundwork of core values. The pillars are representative of People, Place, and Practice, and are anchored in a foundation of empathy, compassion, trust, integrity, dignity, respect, sincerity, unity, honesty, and open-mindedness, as well as trauma-informed thinking. Implementing the Core Value Driven Care Model in a pediatric mental health unit directly impacts the perception of safety and quality of care being provided. The purpose of this study will be to assess the impact the 11 foundational core values have on employee perception of employee safety, patient safety, and quality of care.
