Hospitals in Idaho and elsewhere are often the dumping ground or holding place for patients with behavioral health needs and no place else to go. Consequently, hospitals end up holding these difficult patients (usually with behavioral health needs) for weeks or months. The problems continue to worsen with an increasing number of patients with mental health needs and fewer mental health resources in the community.
In this program, we will discuss some of the more relevant laws, rules and standards that apply to such situations and explore options to minimize the burden and exposure to hospitals while attempting to discharge patients to more appropriate care settings.
