Eliminate the patchwork approach to acute behavioral health services.
It’s no secret that a lack of in-house specialty support is a growing issue for healthcare facilities across the country—and inpatient psychiatry is no exception. Patients with mental health needs requiring hospitalization often rely on community-based clinicians for care. Unfortunately, this can result in a fragmented approach that negatively impacts the patient experience and delays needed care.
Ensure greater continuity and improve the patient experience.
TeamHealth’s acute behavioral health program offers a stable approach to managing mental health services for patients who have been admitted to hospital-based or free-standing facilities. A dedicated team of psychiatric hospitalists provide support for mental health consultations—enhancing clinical effectiveness while improving patient outcomes.
