PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to describe emergency commitment of residents from nursing homes and to discuss relevant policy issues.
DESIGN AND METHODS
This study used statewide, archival emergency commitment data from July 2000 through June 2008. These data are created by entering data from paper emergency commitment initiation forms of law enforcement, mental health professionals, and judges submitted by facilities as required by Florida law.
RESULTS
During the 1 year from July 2007 through June 2008 there were 898 residents of Florida nursing homes with a total of 1032 emergency commitments. Some individuals had more than one emergency commitment from a nursing home during the year, with 9% having between two and five emergency commitments. One-third of the emergency commitments were for residents younger than 65. Some of these individuals also had substantial numbers of emergency commitments in the 7 years from July 2000 through June 2007.
IMPLICATIONS
There are facility, client, and regulatory factors that can be addressed to reduce the inappropriate usage of emergency commitments in nursing homes.
目的
本研究旨在描述养老院居民的紧急入院情况，并讨论相关政策问题。
设计与方法
本研究使用了 2000 年 7 月至 2008 年 6 月期间全州范围内的档案紧急入院数据。这些数据是通过输入佛罗里达州法律要求的执法部门、心理健康专业人员和法官提交的纸质紧急入院启动表格中的数据而创建的。
结果
在 2007 年 7 月至 2008 年 6 月的 1 年期间，有 898 名佛罗里达州养老院居民共进行了 1032 次紧急入院。有些居民在这一年中不止一次从养老院进行紧急入院，其中 9%的人有两次至五次紧急入院。三分之一的紧急入院是为 65 岁以下的居民进行的。其中一些人在 2000 年 7 月至 2007 年 6 月的 7 年中也有大量的紧急入院。
意义
可以通过解决设施、客户和监管因素来减少养老院中不适当的紧急入院情况。
