The highest priority for admission to hospital-based care is safety forself and others. When a
patient is deemed a danger to himself(suicidal) or to others (homicidal), 24-hour supervision in a
secureenvironment is required. While depression, poor impulse control, and anxiety may
escalate to the point where the patient is a danger to self or others, these disorders do not have
priority over reasonable homicidal threats that have been verbalized.
