Transfer of facility clients to inpatient psychiatry: eight criteria to consider.

Full Abstract

The transfer of residential clients with mental retardation to inpatient psychiatric care units (IPUs) presents several areas in which clinical and administrative incidents can occur. Incident review management can be applied as an effective administrative tool to improve the transfer of such clients by considering the needs of clients in the context of their caregivers and the goals of the IPU. This article introduces eight criteria to facilitate and evaluate the transfer of such clients and help reduce the rate of incidents.
