Average Length of Stay. The length of stay at the Restpadd PHF is planned to meet the acute psychiatric needs of the patients referred to the program. CONTRACTOR will accept both voluntary and involuntary patients who meet the admission criteria for the program. It is expected that many of the patients referred to CONTRACTOR will be on an involuntary hold, which is limited to 72 hours. These patients may receive treatment beyond that time frame if they meet continued medical necessity. To continue treatment, a patient must either agree to be treated on a voluntary basis or must be mandated to continue on an involuntary basis by the proper legal authority. It is anticipated that the average length of stay at the PHF will be between 3 to 5 days. Stays of less than three days, or longer than five days, will be dependent on the individual needs of the patient. In all cases, individual care will be coordinated with the County Contract Administrator. Discharge planning and aftercare will be coordinated with the patient’s referring agency/caseworker to ensure post-discharge placement, medication support, and social, vocational, and educational services as appropriate. CONTRACTOR is responsible for coordinating the logistics for certification review, involuntary medication, and writ hearings. COUNTY is not responsible for providing staff for advocacy during these hearings or associated costs for these hearings.
