Response of the Task Force on 4JSC/Chair/76/Chair follow-up/4

Referrals for mental health assessment and follow-up: Any reference to suicidal ideation, intent, or plans mandates a mental health assessment. If the patient is deemed not to be at immediate risk for engaging in self-destructive behaviors, then the clinician needs to collaboratively develop a follow-up and follow-through plan of action. ................
