Procedure for Suicidal Patients Cristin Colford, MD
Procedure for Suicidal Patients • Voluntary • Involuntary • Emergency
Voluntary • Provider and patient determine together that they should be evaluated. Provider determines patient is safe and can go to Crisis Clinic/ED on own, accompanied by family member or accompanied by nurse • If patient determines en route that they do not wish to pursuit evaluation, then escort would allow patient to go.
Involuntary • Provider and patient determine that patient should be evaluated and provider does not feel patient is safe if they were to not seek care. • Fill out forms, notarized by clinic staff, faxed to magistrate, call Public Safety. • Once magistrate returns (by fax) custody order, then Public Safety will escort patient to ED. • There is a second line (on back) where provider can sign that says you do not want to be included in future commitment hearings
Emergency Custody Order • Special form to fill out • If patient is unstable and you cannot wait for magistrate to return the custody order, signing this form enables Public Safety to immediately take custody and transport patient to ED.
