Project Blue Streets

This protocol was developed by the Project Blue Streets Task Force chaired by Dr. Jason Beaman. The protocol is focused on improving the process of transferring psychiatric patients into an appropriate setting in an emergency situation in Tulsa. It was developed by the Project Blue Streets Task force, which gathered information and obtained stakeholder input to develop the protocol. The goal of the protocol is to provide mental health treatment facilities and emergency departments a common standard of efficient and evidence-based recommendations to better care for persons with psychiatric disorders, including emergency custody, voluntary and involuntary civil admissions.
