MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

During an emergency, the organization will provide mental health services to the appropriate patient.  The staff may use patient registration and triage information, and medical records to determine this population and the appropriate services required.  The Emergency Department will be responsible for tracking these patients receiving these services during the emergency.   B.E.S.T. (370-0754 or 750-1062), SAMHC (618-8699) or Sonoran Behavioral Health (469-8700) is contracted to provide assessment and evaluation.  Any of these services provided to the organization's patient will be documented in the patient's records.  The staff will assess the processes used to manage the mental health services during the emergency exercises or actual events and revise the policies, procedures, and Emergency Response Plans as deemed necessary. The critique of the services will be reviewed by the Environment of Care Committee and appropriate medical staff before modifying the emergency services.
