Lakeside has been featured in this quarters Behavioral Healthcare Magazine, check out what all the buzz is about! |
 According to the Mental Health Risk Retention Group (MHRRG), the most common liability claims made against community mental health centers (CMHCs) are related to sexual misconduct, patient violence, suicide, and medication errors. These claims can lead to expensive lawsuits, patient injuries, and damaged reputations. Many underfunded and understaffed CMHCs, damaged by national budget constraints, don't have the necessary resources or manpower to implement company-wide quality improvement initiatives that can lessen or eliminate these risks. But Lakeside Behavioral Healthcare, based in Orlando, Fla., has created a company culture built upon quality improvement, which has led to their receipt of two Negley Awards in 2009 and 2010. Lakeside's award-winning initiatives-“Minimizing Medication Errors” and “Preventing Sexual Misconduct in the Workplace”-are just small pieces of a broader quality improvement program, one that is rooted in Lakeside's organizational values and instilled in new staff members the moment they begin their careers at the CMHC. |

Lakeside Celebrates Ten Years at Princeton Hospital |
|
By: Vicki Garner, LMHC Executive Vice President – Operations May 2000 was the date Lakeside purchased the old Princeton Hospital and brought it back to vibrancy and life. Back in July of 1999 the general hospital had abruptly closed its doors due to bankruptcy. Staff were told to gather their personal belongings and leave immediately. Patients were moved to other hospitals and we were even told stories of one man who awoke after surgery in a different hospital! When Lakeside staff entered the old hospital for the first time many of us remember it was quite creepy. All the calendars were on the same day, July 29, 1999. The names of the patients were still written on the big white boards in the old Emergency Room (now the CRC) and in the patient accounts department (the old Children’s Med clinic and soon to be COP) checks were on desks waiting to be processed. We even heard rumors that ghosts of nuns were on the third floor! After tons of work moving out all the old hospital equipment and furniture over the next few years, renovating and replacing look at what we have now. Our most recent renovations are just about complete and the old hospital is alive and beautiful with breathtaking grounds and views of the lake. I think the nuns would be happy with what we’ve done with their hospital and they can rest in peace! |
