Access TeleCare supports behavioral health patients in the emergency department by providing 24/7/365 virtual psychiatric consultations with rapid response times. When the ED team identifies a patient who needs behavioral health evaluation, hospital staff request an Access TeleCare consult through TelemedIQ. The Access TeleCare clinician reviews the chart in the hospital EMR, joins the telehealth session, evaluates the patient, reviews diagnoses and medication needs, and provides disposition recommendations. This gives ED teams timely psychiatric expertise to support crisis response, risk assessment, medication guidance, and movement to the next appropriate care setting.
