From Crisis to Care: How to effectively treat the hardest cases in mental health
About this Webinar
In the face of the growing mental health crisis, effectively treating the most challenging cases, including those with suicide risk, is paramount. Because these severe cases demand highly specialized care - which few mental health providers offer - they are major contributors to emergency department visits, leading to overcrowding and increased costs for payers. These issues are increasingly prevalent in underserved populations such as Medicare, Medicaid, teens, and those with substance use disorder.
While a number of mental health providers have helped to increase access for routine care, higher severity cases that require timely interventions have been neglected. This panel will discuss the critical care gap, and how technology-enabled virtual providers can be better positioned to take on the most difficult cases in mental health care when built to deliver timely and targeted interventions across populations.
Key Takeaways:
Gain insights into how the most severe mental health cases are contributing to already strained hospitals and healthcare systems, and the challenges associated with follow-up care post-hospitalization.
Explore how specialized care for complex mental health cases and underserved populations is bridging a critical gap in mental health treatment.
Learn how technology-driven virtual solutions enhance the effectiveness of mental health care delivery for high-severity patients, including those with elevated suicide risk and substance use disorder, and how these solutions can help improve FUD/FUH measures and lower costs
