For purposes of sections §§ 17.1200 through 17.1230: Acute suicidal crisis means an individual was determined to be at imminent risk of self-harm by a trained crisis responder or health care provider. Crisis residential care means emergent suicide care provided in a residential facility other than a hospital (that is not a personal residence) that provides 24-hour medical supervision. Crisis stabilization care means, with respect to an individual in acute suicidal crisis, care that ensures, to the extent practicable, immediate safety and reduces: the severity of distress; the need for urgent care; or the likelihood that the severity of distress or need for urgent care will increase during the transfer of that individual from a facility at which the individual has received care for that acute suicidal crisis.
Emergent suicide care means crisis stabilization care provided to an individual eligible under § 17.1210 pursuant to a recommendation from the Veterans Crisis Line or when such individual has presented at a VA or non-VA facility in an acute suicidal crisis. Health care provider means a VA or non-VA provider who is licensed to practice health care by a State and who is performing within the scope of their practice as defined by a State or VA practice standard. Health-plan contract has the same meaning as that term is defined in 38 U.S.C. 1725(f)(2).
Inpatient care means care received by an individual during their admission to a hospital. Non-VA facility means a facility that meets the definition in 38 U.S.C. 1701(4). Outpatient care means care received by an individual that is not described within the definition of "inpatient care" under this section to include telehealth, and without the provision of room or board. Provide, provided, or provision means furnished directly by VA, paid for by VA, or reimbursed by VA. Trained crisis responder means an individual who responds to emergency situations in the ordinary course of their employment and therefore can be presumed to possess adequate training in crisis intervention.
VA facility means a facility that meets the definition in 38 U.S.C. 1701(3). Veterans Crisis Line means the hotline under 38 U.S.C. 1720F(h).
