Best Practices: The Administrative Review Committee at New Hampshire Hospital: A One-Year Follow-Up

Abstract

New Hampshire Hospital implemented an Administrative Review Committee (ARC), a best practice that provides a risk management process to mitigate potential liability for the hospital and clinicians treating high-profile, high-risk patients. This column reports on the first year of the ARC's operation, during which the committee reviewed 206 patients. The authors describe four patient groups and their distinguishing characteristics. The ARC is accepted by clinicians as an important venue to present high-risk clinical cases and to obtain risk management guidance and consultation. The committee has become an integral part of the hospital culture. (Psychiatric Services 63:526–528, 2012; doi: 10.1176/appi.ps.201200113)
