Department

5A EAST Integrated Med and Psych Care

The IMAP unit at Denver Health is a specialized 12-bed medical/surgical and psychiatric unit that provides high-quality, integrated care to adult patients with complex medical conditions and co-occurring mental health needs. This unit is uniquely designed for individuals whose behavioral health challenges, combined with acute or chronic medical diagnoses, make them difficult to place in traditional psychiatric or medical settings.

Patients on the IMAP unit may present with a wide range of medical concerns, including post-surgical recovery, cardiac abnormalities, sepsis, wound care, or other acute conditions—while also experiencing psychiatric diagnoses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression. The unit's structure allows for close medical monitoring while simultaneously addressing behavioral health needs through a multidisciplinary team approach.

With a nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:4 / 1:5 and a CNA ratio of 1:6, the unit is staffed to support safe, effective, and compassionate care. The team on 5A delivers respectful, patient-centered care to individuals with complex access and care needs, and works collaboratively with internal medicine, psychiatry, and social work to ensure holistic treatment.

IMAP offers exceptional learning opportunities for nurses and certified nursing assistants seeking to grow their skills in both medical and psychiatric care. Staff gain experience in managing medically complex patients with behavioral needs, utilizing therapeutic communication, de-escalation strategies, and trauma-informed care.
