Question

How to respond to and manage the absence of a crisis bed reserved for our users?

Problem description

We don’t have crisis beds at our disposal that are specifically reserved for persons admitted to the 2a-team.

Impact - effect

Lack of a temporary solution to the crisis. If hospitalisation is not possible and the user does not wish to be admitted to a hospital, how to find an alternative?  The consequences are especially important in, for example, 2a-interventions involving suicide risk, a lack of a family environment, when the team is insufficiently staffed and this during the weekend, with no beds available in hospital services, where the user’s environment is problematic and physical medical care is absent.

To do

To do: around the ERIC-team a limited number of beds are available and accessible for the team in order to ensure short term admissions (24 to 72h).  This type of care module should be considered and proposed to explore at network level in order to develop an acute care pathway within the current network
