Specialized Inpatient Unit for Adults with Co-Morbid Mental Illness, Intellectual Disability, and Challenging Behavior
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Individuals with intellectual disability (ID) often experience barriers accessing appropriate and effective healthcare. Our specialty program was established to provide interdisciplinary services across the continuum of care to patients with ID, co-morbid mental illness, and challenging behaviors by identifying the etiology of challenging behaviors and creating a comprehensive plan for treatment. We describe the structure of our inpatient specialty unit and a retrospective chart review completed to evaluate the combined impact on the prevalence of challenging behaviors as measured by the Aberrant Behaviors Checklist (ABC) and polypharmacy. Fifty-five patients were evaluated before and one month following 72 corresponding hospitalizations. Mean ABC scores improved from 69.5 to 54.7 (p=.02) with decreases in subscales for irritability, lethargy, hyperactivity, and inappropriate speech but not stereotypy. Total psychotropic medication use was reduced from a mean of 4.9 to 3.8 medications (p<.001). Our specialized interdisciplinary treatment approach appears to benefit many patients with complex needs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
