ABSTRACT
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to the provision of inpatient psychiatric care. The nature of the physical plant, programmatic constraints, and the patient population required a rapid and agile approach to problem-solving under conditions of uncertainty and stress. Flexibility in decision-making, excellent communication, an effective working relationship with infection prevention and control experts, and attention to staff morale and support were important elements of successful provision of care to our inpatients. We present our experience, lessons learned, and recommendations should a resurgence of the pandemic or a similar crisis occur.
