The BHOI platform will introduce NORA, an innovative AI-agent functioning as a Nurse Operations Research Assistant, providing nurse managers with instant access to vital patient and operational data. Kelly Barton, President of MHBHSH, expressed enthusiasm about aligning with other pioneering behavioral health systems to set a new standard in patient care. This move also emphasizes the commitment to improving the safety and well-being of nursing staff. As Maine’s leading behavioral health inpatient facility, MHBHSH plays a crucial role in the state’s healthcare landscape, reinforcing an integrated approach to mental health services.
