Rule 704. Continuing Review of Inpatient Psychiatric Acute Care Services

(a) Continuing Review Required. If the child is placed or remains placed in an inpatient psychiatric acute care facility, the court must review the child's placement as provided in A.R.S. § 8-272(K) at least every 60 days after the date of the order approving treatment until the child is discharged. The review may be completed by holding a hearing or through an in-chambers review unless the court is required to hold a hearing as provided in A.R.S. § 8-272(K). (b) Completing the Review. Whether the review is completed by holding a hearing or through an in-chambers review, the court may admit and review the progress report required to be prepared by the facility under A.R.S. § 8-272(K). The court may find that the need for inpatient psychiatric acute care services for the child continues to be necessary based on the factors listed in A.R.S. § 8-272(K). (c) Subsequent Reviews. If the child remains placed in a facility, the court must set the next 60-day review and order the filing entity to provide copies of the progress report to all the parties, the child's attorney, and the guardian ad litem if one was appointed. (d) Request for Additional Review Hearing. As provided in A.R.S. § 8-272(K), on the motion of the court or any party, the court may set a hearing on the child's continuing need for inpatient psychiatric acute care services.
