When a patient has a suicide precaution order in the ED, that order should be rewritten when completing the ED to Admit orders. Precautions against suicide are handled differently, so the inpatient order must be completed anew.
Click OK (ALT+O) to continue.
From the orders from this session list, order the precaution.
For inpatients requiring suicide precautions who will not be admitted Blake 11, order from the MGH Suicide Protocol Orders template Psychiatry folder in Sets/Templates. See Ordering from templates.
For Blake 11 patients, suicide precaution supervision is an order in the privileges form. See Ordering supervision on Blake 11.
If the ED orders include other precautions, these must also be rewritten for the inpatient stay. See Ordering Adult/Pediatric Precautions.
