Must screening occur in the hospital ER? What if a person is assessed as in need of hospitalization and is located at the jail, at home, in the community, in the outpatient department?
The SASSAR project at this point only pertains to HFS consumers who present at the emergency room of a general hospital with a psychiatric unit. If an individual is assessed as in need of psychiatric hospitalization outside of the emergency room and he/she is directly admitted to the psychiatric unit of a general hospital, the SASSAR provider will not be engaged to do an additional screening.
