An inpatient psychiatric stay for youth should go beyond acute containment of risk and pharmacologic changes and, instead, offer tailored evidence-based treatments in a manner that is individualized for the patient and caregivers. A unique, transdiagnostic guidebook can be utilized within the inpatient hospitalization structure in a way that adds value to the treatment but does not burden the clinical floor staff. This study describes the process of creating a patient-centered youth guidebook, implementation, and recommendations for others wanting to consider the use of a similar modality.
