Chapter 6 – Adult Classification

62080.15.3 CSR Review

• The responsibility for locating treatment or specialist resources shall rest with the medical/psychiatric department and not with the CSRClassification Staff Representative. Such transfers shall usually be approved unless there is an extremely serious overriding reason, in which case the CSRClassification Staff Representative shall consult with the referring CME or psychiatrist. If after the consultation the CSRClassification Staff Representative determines the endorsement inappropriate, the case shall be discussed with the Chief, CSUClassification Services Unit, who shall consult with the Assistant Deputy Director, Health Services, to develop a transfer plan. Inmates transferred for medical/psychiatric reasons may be admitted directly to the hospital, if necessary, pending an evaluation by a physician/psychiatrist.
