Specialty consultation is available 7 days per week.
The psychiatrist is tasked with completing initial psychiatric assessments for newly admitted patients (including those arriving the previous night) and daily rounding on all assigned patients (the entire unit on weekends). The psychiatrist is assisted by an APP (mid-level) who will divide rounding responsibilities. The unit is supported by a highly trained nursing staff, as well as experienced social workers and discharge coordinators. Specially trained nurses manage initial intake requests and bring appropriate candidates for admission to the psychiatrist for approval. The catchment area for the PMU is the entire State of Michigan, and there is almost always a waiting list for admissions.
