“…One American study described a mobile crisis team of registered nurses and physicians who assess persons for expedited admission into state psychiatric facilities (Gou et al, 2001). Other groups of services are described as having an outreach or case management component to their mental health services (Lam & Rosenheck, 1999;McCartley & Yates, 1998;Morris & Warnock, 2001;Poirier, Bonin, Lesage & Reinharz, 2000;Pollack, 1997;Power & Attenborough, 2003). However, only three teams (two in the United States and one in the United Kingdom) were described as having multi-disciplinary membership, consisting of registered nurses, psychiatrists and allied health professionals (Plescia et al, 1997;Pollack, 1997;Power & Attenborough, 2003).…”
