Qualifications

Physician; not otherwise specified beyond appointment by the governing body.

Duties the rule assigns

  • Responsible for the medical services provided at the facility
  • Approves policies/procedures for early detection of suicide risk, jointly with a psychiatrist
  • Reviews/approves medical-emergency and medication-error-prevention policies

Notes

Confirmed specifically for NV-licensed 'Community Triage Centers' โ€” short-term crisis stabilization/observation facilities for persons in a mental health crisis (NAC 449.74311 et seq.) โ€” not a general outpatient psychiatry practice. This is a narrower finding than the org-type label suggests; a standard outpatient behavioral health clinic not licensed as a triage center was not independently confirmed to need one.
