Access TeleCare’s Chief Medical Officer for Behavioral Health Dr. Michael Genovese spoke with Becker’s Healthcare in an in-depth feature focused on how virtual psychiatry helps solve the challenging access-to-care gap.
“The majority of [hospital emergency departments] don’t have psychiatrists available,” Dr. Genovese said. “Virtual behavioral health enables an expert psychiatric provider to evaluate patients quickly, initiate treatment, and determine whether hospitalization is necessary — improving outcomes for both patients and hospitals.”
These insights reinforce Access TeleCare’s ongoing mission: to make behavioral healthcare timely, equitable, and sustainable for hospitals and their communities.
