What is the definition of available suitable accommodations at each RMHI?
The determination of available suitable beds at each RMHI is based on the number of staffed (operating not licensed) beds. Beds for children are calculated separately from beds for adults. Secure forensic beds at the Forensic Services Program at Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute are calculated separately from other beds. Beds for forensic service recipients are calculated separately from other adult beds at the facility. RMHI administrators are expected to manage the service recipient population within a hospital to accommodate new admissions regardless of acuity or gender.
