The admitting psychiatrist shall document the reasons why a lower level of care is not medically appropriate, which may include:

1. Complex case because of one or more complicating concurrent disorders requiring a higher level of care to provide medically necessary evaluation or active treatment, or
2. Lack of access, or
3. Inadequate support (family and/or school and/or community) to use a lower level of care, or
4. Patient lives alone, or lives with family members who are significantly impaired by psychiatric or substance abuse disorders, or
5. Persistent hampering of evaluation or treatment by family, making evaluation or treatment in an outpatient setting ineffective, or
6. Patient behavior which persists despite appropriate treatment in an outpatient setting and which either seriously disrupts family life or which arouses antagonism towards the patient, making treatment in an outpatient setting ineffective.
