Meet Your Community’s Mental Health Needs

In order to meet the demands of more medically complicated conditions, Access TeleCare’s telemedicine services offer consultation-liaison psychiatry services. Our consultation-liaison approach specializes in the diagnosis and management of psychiatric disorders that are comorbid with general medical/surgical illness.

Access TeleCare providers work within your EMR to document and deploy behavioral health services in close collaboration with your care teams. We expand behavioral health access to meet your care teams growing mental health needs with efficient, high-quality care delivery.

Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry

In medically complex situations, providing comprehensive and integrated psychiatric care to patients is paramount. Medical-surgical units and intensive care units often witness patients facing significant physical and emotional challenges. This is where the invaluable role of consultation-liaison psychiatry comes into play. At Access TeleCare, we recognize the importance of delivering consultation-liaison psychiatry services within these units, and we will work closely with your team to develop a care program that enhances patient care and outcomes.
