Educational and orientation tool for patients and their family and friends

The Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital and the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior app is an educational and orientation tool for patients and their family and friends. The app serves as a comprehensive resource on available hospital and outpatient behavioral healthcare services, contact information, tools for caregivers, and local and hospital amenities. The app was developed by the UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital and the UCLA Department of Psychiatry in partnership with the Psychiatry Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC). The mission of the Psychiatry PFAC is to facilitate partnerships between patients/families/friends and the administration and staff of Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital and Neuropsychiatric Behavioral Health Services at UCLA Health through education, feedback, and policy and program recommendations which will promote the organization’s goal of providing superior patient and family centered care.
