CLINICAL CARE GUIDE
The primary purpose of this Care Guide is to assist the staff of CBH in developing appropriate clinical information for decision-making. The Guide also informs providers of expected data to support admission, continued stay and discharge. The Guide is designed to facilitate access to care by the members of CBH, not as a means to limit or obstruct access. The clinical care of the patient is the responsibility of the attending physician and the facility where the patient is receiving treatment. These guidelines are not to be used to prescribe care to providers.
