In late 2011 and early 2012, BHD opened the Women's Treatment Unit and the Intensive Treatment Unit.  The remaining Acute Treatment Units have a generalized focus.  The reconfiguration of the units stemmed from a report that the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors (Committee on Health and Human Needs) requested from BHD in early 2010 on mixed-gender units for the acute psychiatric inpatient program.  The BHD Administrator assigned the medical staff the responsibility to conduct a study and literature review, consistent with the Joint Commission expectation that the medical staff have a leadership role in enhancing the quality of care, treatment and service, and patient safety.  The culmination of the workgroup's efforts are presented in the final 63-page report.  You can access the reports through the links below.
