Mental Health (MH) patients often present to rural EDs Extended wait in ED MH assessment. Stretched and under resourced Community Mental Health Services - limited response to EDs. If no local MH service - patient need to be transported. Limited transport options; none after-hours Vast geographical distance – ED to MH Facility e.g. Grafton ED to Lismore is 131km or 1hr 34mins. If transported & not admitted, patients are required to find their own way home.

What is a NMHEC_RAP assessment? A NMHEC-RAP assessment is a mental health assessment where you and the mental health professional are not in the same room as each
and use technology to complete the assessment. Can a family member be with me during the assessment? NMHEC-RAP encourages family and/or carers to participate in the assessment, if this is your wish. You can choose any support person to be with you during the assessment. How will I see the mental health professional if we are not in the same room? The NMHEC-RAP assessment is conducted using a portable videoconferencing machine with a camera, audio and a screen. Can I ask questions during the consultation? You and your carer should feel free to ask questions at any time before, during and after the assessment. Why use NMHEC-RAP? A NMHEC-RAP assessment means that you will not need to travel to another hospital to be assessed. You may, however, need to travel to another hospital if you need to be admitted. What if I don’t want to be part of a NMHEC-RAP assessment? You may choose not to participate in a NMHEC-RAP assessment. Alternative arrangements will be discussed with you. Consent for the assessment You will be asked for your verbal consent before the assessment starts. What if I am uncomfortable during the NMHEC-RAP assessment? You can ask to stop the assessment at any time. Who will be part of the consultation? You will see the mental health professional
member with you in the room if you do not a have support person and it is felt that you require one. All staff involved in the assessment will introduce themselves at the beginning of the session. Maintaining your privacy and confidentiality All NMHEC-RAP assessments are secure and subject to the same privacy requirements as face-to-face Health
will take notes during the assessment which will be entered into your medical record, as would normally happen if you saw a Health professional face to face. How much will the consultation cost? This service is free for people presenting to emergency departments.
