During crises, such as disaster, the luxury of an overabundance of time, resources, or
personnel generally does not exist. Additionally, communication within and
between responders and response systems can be confusing.
Why Rapid SAFT Map?
It is under such circumstances when a rapidly implemented behavioral health
assessment and triage tool could be helpful to crisis responders and systems in making
and communicating informed decisions about how to best utilize time and available
resources.
Why = What?
It is the product of 25+ years of professional clinical experience combined with the
synthesis of functional tools and scholarly concepts.
How?
While the model has proven effective for the author it has yet to be field tested and
thusly requires further study through use to determine if it is a reliable tool.
Limitations and Further Study
Global Assessment of Functioning Scale is one of, if not the primary
behavioral health assessment of functioning scale used by behavioral health clinicians.
Key Terms and Concepts
Situational Fluidity is described as the ability to be used by a wide variety of
responders in a wide variety of situations with a wide variety of individuals WITHOUT
modification of the tool or instrument.
Key Terms and Concepts
Color does influence an individual’s response (Fortmann-Roe 2011) including level of attentiveness (Camgoz et al. 2004).
Shah et al. (2003) indicates, that in stressful situations complicated by significant time constraints, the use of color-coding to be beneficial
