The growing number of patients presenting to hospitals with psychiatric emergencies represents a major challenge for emergency departments. The struggle to address the crisis in emergency psychiatry impacts patient safety, quality of care, hospital efficiency, and the bottom line.

Since the vast majority of psychiatric emergencies resolve within 24 hours, hospitals can prevent unnecessary admission and enhance care by shifting to earlier intervention in the ED. The sooner a patient is evaluated and treated, the better their chances of preventing hospitalization and the sooner they begin healing.
In this paper you will learn how innovative approaches to emergency psychiatric care help your hospital:
• Enhance patient care
• Increase ED efficiency
• Reduce patient wait times
• Minimize ED boarding
• Improve staff and patient safety and satisfaction
• Prevent unnecessary admissions
• Reach underserved populations
