Case Study: CPI & Our Hands-Off Approach in Behavioral Health

Introduction

This case study of Executive Office of the State of North Carolina is based on a December 2015 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“CPI has improved staff de-escalation skills, overall safety, and has become ingrained in our training.”

“CPI training has improved my organization’s HCAHPS score.”

“The first approach is not to put hands on, which is a big change for us. Trying to de-escalate the patient is now the first attempt and it usually works.”

“If we have questions about anything, our appointed person makes a call to CPI and finds out what we need to know.”
