This Admission Guideline for Crisis Facilities was developed by the Professional Practices Committee of the Texas Society of Psychiatric Physicians and adopted by the TSPP Executive Council on September 17, 1995. Amendments to the document were adopted by the TSPP Executive Council on April 26, 1998 and on May 28, 2000.
This Guideline is not considered to be prescriptive for all patients due to the wide variety of circumstances associated with the presentation of patients for psychiatric care.
