Nurse HIC supervisor (Crisis care)

A healthcare organization consists of multiple entities, including a psychiatric hospital, a psychiatric nursing home, a sheltered living initiative, and a residential care center.

• The psychiatric hospital has an outpatient clinic and is also active within the operation of mobile teams and a regional network.
• High & Intensive Care (HIC) is a model for short-term and intensive psychiatric care, focusing on safety, protection, a respectful approach, and patient involvement.
• The central aim is to reduce coercion and restraint, with attention to patients regaining control over their own lives.
