MHA 2007 Changes -Aug 2015
• Medical officers (in absence of AMOs) can do Schedule 1 (s19A) and Form 1(s27A) via videoconference in a Gazetted MH facility.
• AMOs can undertake Form 1 assessments at a Gazetted MH facility of which they are not an employee
• Accredited Persons (APs) can do Schedule 1 (s19A) via videoconference
![Page 8: NMHEC-RAP - Northern Mental Health Emergency Care - Rural ...€¦ · Emergency Care - Rural Access Program Dr. Rahul Gupta MBBS, MD, DNB, FRANZCP Clinical Lead NMHEC-RAP Telepsychiatry](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070804/5f0356fb7e708231d408ba72/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
NMHEC-RAP Principles
• Mental Health Professionals provide MH consultations
• To regional, rural and remote EDs
• Poor access to mental health services
• Use video conference to link with EDs
• Utilize a consultation-liaison model i.e. ED retains the clinical responsibility of the patient.
![Page 9: NMHEC-RAP - Northern Mental Health Emergency Care - Rural ...€¦ · Emergency Care - Rural Access Program Dr. Rahul Gupta MBBS, MD, DNB, FRANZCP Clinical Lead NMHEC-RAP Telepsychiatry](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070804/5f0356fb7e708231d408ba72/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
NMHEC-RAP Principles
• NMHEC-RAP provides full MH access to smaller EDs
• For others, it is an enhancement of existing mental health cover to EDs• complementing existing services and extending after-hours
cover
• It is not meant to replace existing MH input to EDs

Patient Information SheetWhat is a NMHEC_RAP assessment? A NMHEC-RAP assessment is a mental health assessment where you and the mental health professional are not in the same room as each other and use technology to complete the assessment.
Can a family member be with me during the assessment? NMHEC-RAP encourages family and/or carers to participate in the assessment, if this is your wish. You can choose any support person to be with you during the assessment.
How will I see the mental health professional if we are not in the same room? The NMHEC-RAP assessment is conducted using a portable videoconferencing machine with a camera, audio and a screen.
Can I ask questions during the consultation? You and your carer should feel free to ask questions at any time before, during and after the assessment.
Why use NMHEC-RAP? A NMHEC-RAP assessment means that you will not need to travel to another hospital to be assessed. You may, however, need to travel to another hospital if you need to be admitted.
What if I don’t want to be part of a NMHEC-RAP assessment? You may choose not to participate in a NMHEC-RAP assessment. Alternative arrangements will be discussed with you.
Consent for the assessment You will be asked for your verbal consent before the assessment starts.
What if I am uncomfortable during the NMHEC-RAP assessment? You can ask to stop the assessment at any time.
Who will be part of the consultation? You will see the mental health professional on the screen. There may also be a staff member with you in the room if you do not a have support person and it is felt that you require one. All staff involved in the assessment will introduce themselves at the beginning of the session.
Maintaining your privacy and confidentiality All NMHEC-RAP assessments are secure and subject to the same privacy requirements as face-to-face Health services. The assessment will not be recorded. The mental health professional will take notes during the assessment which will be entered into your medical record, as would normally happen if you saw a Health professional face to face.
How much will the consultation cost? This service is free for people presenting to emergency departments.
