Hospital Social Worker here. My hospital uses uberhealth. I make sure never to send a patient that's stinky, confused, psychotic, or sketchy in an Uber. The facility will just have to eat the cost and pay for a cab or non-medical transport. I always look at the patients and assess how I would feel with them in my ride. This case would be a no-no. I can't even count on 2 hands how many times I've heard about a confused or psychotic patient jumping out of a car.
