PSH is sponsoring today's Richmond BizSense panel, The Future of Healthcare, presented by UnitedHealthcare. We are proud to highlight a project that is changing how our client, Centra Health, is changing their hospital system's approach to behavioral health treatment: Virginia's first-ever emPATH Unit at Lynchburg General Hospital! emPATH (Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment and Healing) units are a relatively new concept that provides compassionate, holistic care in a calming environment for people experiencing a mental health crisis. Studies of emPATH units elsewhere in the US have shown appreciable improvements in reducing patient anxiety, length of stay, and hospital admissions when compared to traditional emergency room visits, resulting in more available beds and resources for physical emergencies-- and a safer emergency department for everyone. #healthcare #architecture #design #behavioralhealth #interiordesign #clientinspired #Lynchburg #emergencyroom #emPATH #compassionatecare #Virginia #Centra #CentraHealth #healthcarearchitecture

How can text messaging improve patient well-being? We partnered with Ventura County to provide SMS surveys at regular intervals to assess mood and wellness of individuals leaving psychiatric inpatient facilities. Not only did patients rate the program highly, but the automated SMS messages saved Ventura County staff hours of tracking down clients by making repeated outbound phone attempts. Learn more about CCL's digital solutions for health programs at the link in the comments. #mentalhealthmatters #healthcare #mentalhealth #SMS

yli has just endorsed SB 1319, which streamlines the process for converting unused skilled nursing facilities to behavioral health facilities, in response to the increased need for behavioral health facilities in the state. Existing law requires skilled nursing facilities that would like to provide behavioral health services to seek approvals from multiple state departments - significantly delaying the process for these critical behavioral health facilities to open and become operational. In an effort to address the fentanyl crisis, SB 1319 contributes to the Senate’s evidence-based approach to increase access to treatment facilities by creating a streamlined process to submit applications for these facilities.

Embark’s differentiated Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program for youth and young adults is an important segment of care given how it improves accessibility to those living in more remote and underserved areas. The service is also important for those that, for clinical or medical reasons, can not attend in person. Results is one of our Core Values at Embark and we are proud of the outcomes our Virtual IOP Program - our clients and team together - has delivered. Embark Behavioral Health collects thousands of data points during and after treatment, from the clients and their family, and shares feedback with families during treatment to adjust care in real time and improve results. Our outcomes not only reinforce that the services work but also inform important clinical decisions - like ensuring the right type of care at the right time. #feedbackinformedtreatment #outcomesresearch #embarkbh #theembarkdifference #virtualtherapy
We are thrilled to share the data from our recent virtual intensive outpatient program (Virtual IOP) outcomes report! 🎉 -- Tiffany King, vice president of Embark Behavioral Health virtual division said it best; “It's exciting to see the data validating that our evidence-based treatment approach is not only highly effective in a virtual IOP setting but also comparable to our in-person programs. The results, as shown by self-reported client outcomes, provide great news for families around the country who need intensive outpatient treatment while at home. We look forward to increasing the accessibility of quality mental health care as Embark Virtual IOP expands its effective treatment approach to more states." -- To learn more about the data presented in this graphic, and where our insurance-reimbursed virtual IOP programs are offered, head here 👇. https://lnkd.in/eH44gHrj . . . #TheEmbarkDifference #CreateJoy #HealGenerations #mentalhealth #virtualtherapy
