• Washington State, “Feel My Pain”
• Problems Then,
Problems Now,
Problems In the Future…

Why Do We Care? Because They Come
2000- Estimates of 5.4% of ED Patients
2008- Estimates of up to 10% of ED Patients
2011- In several states up to
of Super Utilizers
have a primary or secondary Mental Health or Substance Abuse diagnosis at
discharge

Why Do We Care? Because They Stay…
Nationally of all ED’s Board Mental Health Patients
times longer then averaged boarded patients awaiting
admission
WA State Survey July, 2014:
44% of all ED’s surveyed had Mental Health Boarders
20% of those had been boarding over 72 hours
Maximum LOS in that survey, 6 days
![Page 6: Mental Health Boarding in Emergency Departmentswashingtonacep.org/2015meeting/handouts/psychboarding_anderson.pdf · Mental Health Boarding in Emergency Departments National Solutions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051321/5ac692967f8b9a57528e525c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Do We Care? Because it’s NOT the optimal environment to
languish in
Medical Screening Exams are necessary
Stress for Patients- 2008 DOH&HS Policy “creates an environment in which psychiatric patients slowly deteriorates”
One hospital in WA State Survey documented 50% of all psychiatric boarding patients
were at some point in physical restraints
Stress for Providers- ENA estimates > 90% of all ED RN’s have been physically or mentally assaulted
Burnout?

So… What’s Wrong With WA State?

In 2014 Report Card of Emergency Care in America Despite some improvements noted above, Washington continues to receive a failing grade for Access to Emergency Care. One major area of concern is the lack of resources and inpatient capacity for mental health
patients. The state ranks third worst in the nation for the number of psychiatric care beds (8.3 per 1,o00,000 people).*
* An IMPROVEMENT from 49th in 2009!

50% of boarded patients in restraints
Over $2 Million dollars spent in 2012 in additional boarding resources

Psychiatric Bed Availability From 1955 to 2005
Inpatient beds in America decreased from
68O per 1 million
To
34 per 1 million

Lawmakers have voted eight times since 1998 to make it easier to commit residents. But despite those changes, the state over the past six years has cut 250 psychiatric beds and more than $100 million in programs designed to reduce detentions.
WA State Legislation

Seattle Times, Dec. 5, 2013 ‘Boarding’ mentally ill becoming epidemic in state

across the board is $2,300 more then other
visits in the ED

$600-1,800/ day.

Funding It’s all about the money…
-August 15th, 2014- WA State Governor found $30 Million in
emergency health Care funds tied to ACA to jump start reform
(remember $100 Million in cuts over last 6 years).
-Creative sources for future legislative tax base
- “A penny saved is a penny earned”… Coordinating care of Super Utilizers identified through the ED’s
Minimizing unnecessary testing in Medical Screening Exams

Funding Prudent Stewards of the Health Care Dollar
• ACEP Clinical Policy on Psychiatric Boarding, Routine Testing: • 1. Patient management recommendations: What testing is necessary in order to determine medical stability in alert, cooperative
patients with normal vital signs, a non-contributory history and physical examination, and psychiatric symptoms?
• Level A recommendations. None specified.
• Level B recommendations. In adult ED patients with primary psychiatric complaints, diagnostic evaluation should be directed by the
history and physical examination. Routine laboratory testing of all patients is of very low yield and need not be performed as part of the ED assessment.
• Level C recommendations. None specified.
• 2. Patient management recommendations: Do the results of a urine drug screen for drugs of abuse affect management in alert,
cooperative patients with normal vital signs, a non- contributory history and physical examination, and a psychiatric complaint?
• Level A recommendations. None specified.
• Level B recommendations. None specified.
• Level C recommendations.
• 1. Routine urine toxicology screens for drugs of abuse in alert, awake, cooperative patients do not affect ED management and need
not be performed as part of the ED assessment.
• 2. Urine toxicology screens for drugs of abuse obtained
in the ED for the use of the receiving psychiatric facility or service should not delay patient evaluation or transfer.

Beds Single Bed Certification
The Basis of the problem: WA State will no longer pay for Single Bed Certification unless new standards are met
New Standards: • Provision of appropriate and timely mental health treatment as defined by the WAC
• Implementation of written standards that assure a mental health professional (as defined by
WAC or RCW code) and licensed physician are available for consultation
• Creation of individualized mental health treatment plans
• Provision of daily contact with a mental health professional for each involuntarily detained
consumer
• Adoption of standards for the administration and monitoring of medication regimens

Beds Voluntary vs. Involuntary
WA State found 140 new INVOLUNTARY Commitment
beds on Dec. 26th…. Yippee!!!
Where Did They Find Them?
Converted VOLUNTARY Crisis Diversion beds…
Not so Yippee

Beds • ED or Elsewhere?
• Hospital protocols for moving patients
to Alternative beds for housing, with
Hospitalist/ Psychiatric

Beds- Re-enter WA State Courts
• Dec. 22nd, 2014- Seattle district Court rules illegal to
incarcerate patients in jail on mental health detainment
over 7 days without care.
• Governor immediately issued $8.8 million dollars to
reopen forensic psychiatric beds at states two largest
inpatient facilities

Personnel • Around 50,000 Psychiatrists in America in 2010, too
few to go around.
• Over the last 10 years, the trend is less & less
graduates of medical schools are entering the field.
• Over 50% of Psychiatrists in America are over 55 years
old.
Is it time for a new niche?

Personnel ED Providers Education
• If 10% of my clients are psychiatric patients…
Do I need more CME in prolonged psychiatric care?
• ED Providers are the experts in the de-escalation of
“Agitated Delirium”… But then what?
