Area of Science:

Emergency Medicine
Psychiatry
Healthcare Management

Background:

Balancing the 4-hour wait in Accident and Emergency (A&E) with National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) psychosocial assessment (PSA) requirements for self-harm patients presents a significant challenge.
Existing protocols struggle to efficiently manage the demand for timely assessments post-self-harm presentation.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a novel integrated care pathway (ICP) for managing patients presenting with self-harm.
To address the demand for psychosocial assessments while adhering to A&E and NICE guidelines.

Main Methods:

Implementation of the Modified Sad Persons Scale (MSPS) by general hospital staff.
Automatic admission to general hospital for patients scoring 5 or above on the MSPS.
Dedicated liaison psychiatry team to conduct detailed psychosocial assessments the following day.

Main Results:

The majority of self-harm patients were admitted primarily due to medical concerns.
A small proportion of patients required subsequent psychiatric inpatient admission following assessment.

Conclusions:

The developed integrated care pathway (ICP) demonstrates effective multidisciplinary collaboration.
This approach yields mutually beneficial outcomes for both acute and mental health trusts, improving patient flow and care coordination.
