A final review of an e-BOMHR shall be conducted by the originating facility's Access to Care (ATC) Lieutenant or a designee of the minimum rank of sergeant. The final review for e-BOMHR forms originated in Court Services Division shall be conducted by ATC personnel at the Inmate Reception Center (IRC).

Facility watch commanders and ATC personnel shall monitor applicable e-BOMHR system queues and maintain communication with the MCC to ensure the timely processing and completion of forms.

In the event there is a system failure, all respective facilities and courts shall maintain a sufficient supply of the paper form to allow continued documentation.
