River Park Hospital's 30 Day Diagnostic Program offers inpatient care while the patient is participating in psychological testing. This program is for child and adolescent males and females, ages 10 to 17, that are in States custody. It takes a team approach, providing therapy services, nursing care, case management, medication management, meetings with a psychiatrist and a psychologist who administers the testing.
During the course of the patients stay in this program, we will start planning discharge needs and work to identify services that could benefit the patient. The testing that will be done will give us and the treatment team a better idea of how we can best serve this patient and help him or her be more successful once they leave our facility.
Watch this video to hear Dr. Melvin, the psychiatrist that will be working with patients, to learn more. We are grateful to be able to utilize his expertise with our patients.
