There are times when psychiatric patients with complex cases present, who require detailed, comprehensive, and collaborative care plans to meet the patient's needs. This commonly occurs with patients showing high-utilization, intellectual and developmental challenges, chronic substance abuse problems, severe and persistent mental illness, and experiencing placement disruption in the community.

 

Determining the proper treatment level for these patients can be challenging, yet often they do not meet involuntary commitment criteria nor require acute hospitalization.
