Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program
Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital's Emergency Department offers one of the only dedicated psychiatric programs in the country designed specifically for the evaluation and treatment for children and adolescents with psychiatric emergencies. In October 2004, in coordination with Child Psychiatry and the Pediatric Emergency Department, the first New York State Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program for children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders was established. At our facility, children having psychiatric emergencies are evaluated in a separate emergency department that is staffed around the clock by a psychiatric staff, including a child psychiatrist, nurses, case managers, and psychologists. Patients receive rapid comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and, when indicated, can be held up to 72 hours in extended observation beds for stabilization. The Children's Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program has decreased the number of children admitted to inpatient psychiatric units from 40 percent to under 10 percent.
