New Hampshire: medical director and delegated services for a psychiatry or behavioral health clinic
Whether New Hampshire requires a physician medical director for a psychiatry or behavioral health clinic, the qualifications, duties, and what the state says about the staff who deliver protocol-driven services.
Qualifications
Psychiatrist licensed in New Hampshire under RSA 329.
Duties the rule assigns
- Implementation of client care policies and coordination of medical care in the facility (per the rule's own definition of the role)
- Determines which medications are kept onsite as 'stock medications' for client use
Notes
Applies to licensed Psychiatric Residential Treatment Programs (PRTPs, He-P 830), an inpatient/residential category. The rule defines and relies on a 'medical director' (psychiatrist) role and mandates 24-hour psychiatrist availability (He-P 830.18(c)), but an explicit 'shall appoint a medical director' sentence, unlike He-P 803/806/826, wasn't located — treat appointment mechanics as less certain. Not confirmed for standard outpatient behavioral-health clinics.
