Problems Addressed
Our nation’s mental healthcare faces a series of escalation problems including:
- An increasing demand for inpatient services
- Increasing acute symptoms in patients presenting to our ERs and hospitals
- A growing shortage of nurse and providers to meet this patient demand,
- A critical shortage of inpatient beds,
- An increase in costs for services where hospitals lose an average of 34 cents for every dollar spent,
- The absence of a model to facilitate higher reimbursement
