MDM:

Medically cleared for psychiatric evaluation.

No acute medical emergency requiring medical intervention prior to psychiatric evaluation.

The brief medical screening evaluation (history and physical) did not reveal any clear medical conditions which are thought to be more likely as causative to the patient’s psychiatric complaints than primarily psychiatric pathology. Given the most likely etiology for the patient’s symptoms at this time would require an emergent psych evaluation and the risks of delayed psychiatric evaluation outweigh the benefit of further medical evaluation at this time, the patient is to be evaluated by psychiatry. This emergency medical screening examination does exclude all underlying medical conditions which may be contributory or exacerbating the patient’s psychiatric complaints (as this is not feasible to be done in an medical screening exam). Additionally, the patient may have additional comorbidities/medical need which will need to be addressed on an non-emergent basis.

DIAGNOSIS: psychiatric disorder NOS

DISPOSITION: psych ED

COUNSELLING: Patient informed of treatment plan.
