Based on the search results, The Joint Commission’s Sentinel Event Alert on intimidating and disruptive behaviors does not explicitly mandate assessment or coaching by licensed mental health professionals.

However, it does suggest some relevant actions that healthcare organizations can take:

1). The Alert recommends developing policies and procedures addressing disruptive behaviors, potentially including mental health professionals’ referrals for assessment or counseling.

2). It suggests providing “support services” such as staff assistance, counseling, or employee assistance programs to address disruptive behaviors.
One cited article mentions that “in some cases, individualized counseling may be necessary to achieve improvement” in addressing disruptive behaviors.

3). So, while not an explicit requirement, the Alert and related guidance recognizes that counseling, assessment by mental health professionals, and employee assistance programs can be potential components of an organization’s approach to managing disruptive behaviors. It does not mandate these specific interventions as a universal requirement.

4). The third search results discuss the importance of systemic solutions, education, and prevention efforts to address disruptive, unprofessional behavior but do not directly address mandated mental health assessments or coaching.

 In summary, while counseling and mental health support services are suggested as potential elements, the Joint Commission guidance does not strictly require mental health professional assessment or coaching as a mandatory response to disruptive physician behavior across all healthcare organizations.
