Children or teens whom providers decide need urgent, but not emergency, psychiatric care are referred to the PACE (Psychiatry Access, Continuity, and Evaluation) Clinic. The clinic provides short-term, outpatient psychiatric care until a child or teen can begin an ongoing treatment program. Appointments are arranged through referrals from the pediatric emergency department or other channels.

The Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) at Hasbro Children’s Hospital is the only emergency department in the region dedicated to the emergent and urgent medical needs of children and adolescents, caring for children and adolescents from birth to age 18 and beyond. With more than 53,000 visits per year, the Hasbro emergency department provides a significant proportion of the emergency and pediatric referral care to families in Rhode Island and surrounding regions.

As the regional tertiary care children’s hospital and Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center, the Hasbro Children's ED is staffed 24 hours a day by board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physicians and pediatric emergency nurses with access to pediatric surgeons and other pediatric medical and surgical subspecialists.

With emphasis on patients’ wishes about the care they receive, the National POLST Paradigm helps patients get the medical treatments they want, and avoid the medical treatments they do not want, when they are seriously ill or frail. It's about helping people live the way they want until they die. Web locator for state's sample forms.
