Behavioral Health is frequently assumed to be synonymous with Mental Health, but there is a subtle yet key difference. The World Health Organization defines Mental Health as “a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”
Behavioral Health is defined as “the connection between behaviors and the health and well-being of the body, mind, and spirit.” Mental Health plays a part in Behavioral Health, but so do our physical habits and behaviors.
According to the Maine Health Access Foundation, for every 10 people in a doctor’s office, seven are there seeking care for reasons related to behavioral health. As a result, many healthcare providers have started to integrate Behavioral Health care into their Primary Care practices. Behavioral Health patients generally require various levels of support for a wide variety of needs. Integrating Behavioral Health care comes with new and unique challenges for the healthcare facilities and the employees.
Whether a hospital, a rehabilitation center, or any other number of facilities that may treat a Behavioral Health patient, having the proper equipment and furniture will make a huge difference in the level of care that can be provided. Using the right equipment will allow the employee to provide ultimate care while ensuring the comfort and safety of the patient.
Nouvm’s Behavioral Health line is made to order for the comfort and security of the patients who need it most. Caregivers can be assured knowing that we will manufacture casework that will help eliminate pinch points, reduce access to assembly points and has no hooks.
We use steel cam and dowels for assembly, steel-on-steel construction for the best security available. This assembly is not only strong and secure but in the event of serious abuse or damage allows you to easily have parts replaced. We also offer rounded edges and sloped tops to reduce the risk of ligature and garroting.
All of our Behavioral Health Beds, Wardrobes, Bedside Cabinets and Work Desks ship fully assembled which assures accurate alignment of the cabinets as well as reduced installation costs. Keep your patients safe and comfortable with Novum!
