Access TeleCare’s teleBehavioral Health services improve ED throughput by significantly reducing wait times for psychiatric evaluation and disposition. Faster access to a specialist enables quicker clinical decision-making, whether that is admission, discharge, or transfer. This dramatically reduces boarding time sand length of stay for behavioral health patients, frees up ED beds, and improves overall patient flow. Here’s an example case study where length of stay for BH patients was reduced by 70%. On the inpatient side, timely consults and ongoing psychiatric management can contribute to shorter lengths of stay by accelerating treatment planning and discharge readiness.
