LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES RELATED TO PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCIES

The diagnosis of psychiatric emergencies can include a wide range of problems—from serious drug reactions to abuse and suicidal ideation/behaviors. Regardless of care setting, the PMHNP must know how to address emergencies, coordinate care with other members of the health care team and law enforcement officials (when indicated), and effectively communicate with family members who are often overwhelmed in emergency situations. In their role, PMHNPs can ensure a smooth transition from emergency mental health care to follow-up care, and also bridge the physical–mental health divide in healthcare.

In this week’s Assignment, you explore legal and ethical issues surrounding psychiatric emergencies, and identify evidence-based suicide and violence risk assessments. 

TO PREPARE

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about psychiatric emergencies and the ethical and legal issues surrounding these events.

THE ASSIGNMENT

In 2–3 pages, address the following:

· Explain your state laws for involuntary psychiatric holds for child and adult psychiatric emergencies. Include who can hold a patient and for how long, who can release the emergency hold, and who can pick up the patient after a hold is released.

· Explain the differences among emergency hospitalization for evaluation/psychiatric hold, inpatient commitment, and outpatient commitment in your state.

· Explain the difference between capacity and competency in mental health contexts.

· Select one of the following topics, and explain one legal issue and one ethical issue related to this topic that may apply within the context of treating psychiatric emergencies: patient autonomy, EMTALA, confidentiality, HIPAA privacy rule, HIPAA security rule, protected information, legal gun ownership, career obstacles (security clearances/background checks), and payer source.

· Identify one evidence-based suicide risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.

· Identify one evidence-based violence risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.

Customer Service DP2

 

  • How can verbal feedback affect customer encounters?
  • Be sure to provide support for your position by including examples.

Quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) frameworks

Develop a 4-page quality/performance improvement framework for your doctoral project.

Quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) frameworks are used to establish and evaluate processes in practice. The most common models for such a framework are Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) and Six Sigma Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC). The purpose of this assessment is to use key information from your project charter to develop a QI/PI framework from which you will begin developing a project implementation plan and logic model in the next assessment.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

· Competency 1: Align the project charter with a continuous improvement model.

1. Describe the current practice needing improvement.

1. Explain how QI/PI data will be collected and analyzed.

1. Describe the proposed QI/PI changes and expected outcomes.

1. Explain how changes in quality or performance will be evaluated.

1. Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing.

Instructions

Is about reducing falls in a primary care clinic with the implementation of a fall risk management protocol, now the clinic doesn’t use any protocol.

Develop a quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) framework for your project, aligned with your project charter. Choose a model for your framework, using the PDCA or DMAIC model, a model used in your organization, or another familiar reputable model that is suitable for your project. PDCA or DMAIC model information and examples are included in Resources.

Provide a succinct, scholarly narrative that reflects the content of your model and addresses the key points outlined below:
