A multidisciplinary task force convened by the National Center for State Courts has developed 50 guidelines that contain practical solutions to problems associated with involuntary civil commitment processes; most can be implemented within existing statutory frameworks. The guidelines call for greater cooperation and communication among the mental health, social service, public safety, and justice systems at each step in the commitment process and recommend that these systems form interdisciplinary community coordinating councils to seek expedient remedies to problems in the commitment process. Other guidelines outline the roles of law enforcement officers, lawyers, mental health professionals, and judges in maintaining the continuity of the commitment process and propose measures for improving screening of individuals as they enter the mental health system. Efforts to facilitate implementation of the guidelines are described.
由国家州法院中心召集的一个多学科特别工作组制定了50项指导方针，其中包含针对与非自愿民事住院程序相关问题的切实可行的解决方案；大多数方案可在现有法定框架内实施。这些指导方针要求心理健康、社会服务、公共安全和司法系统在住院程序的每一步加强合作与沟通，并建议这些系统成立跨学科社区协调委员会，以便为住院程序中的问题寻求权宜之计。其他指导方针概述了执法人员、律师、心理健康专业人员和法官在维持住院程序连续性方面的作用，并提出了改善个人进入心理健康系统时筛查工作的措施。文中还描述了为促进这些指导方针的实施所做的努力。
