Scope of work
The Behavioral Health Technician (BHT) is a role that provides and maintains a safe and therapeutic environment for the patient requiring direct observation. Working under the delegation of the Bedside RN, the BHT collaborates with the Nurse, Behavioral Health team, MSW, and the Medical Team to upload the established behavioral plan for the patient. The BHT is trained in verbal de-escalation and situational awareness and provided education on the variety of patient populations encountered.
