## How team-based behavioral care from Array is reducing ED strain

---

Psychiatrist shortages, record emergency department visits and prolonged boarding are straining hospital capacity nationwide. But a new care model is easing the pressure — and improving patient flow.

This report shares how hospitals are deploying a virtual, team-based approach to behavioral health that pairs master's-level clinicians with psychiatrists. The result: faster evaluations, better alignment to patient acuity and fewer unnecessary admissions.

**Inside the report:**

 

- How acuity-aligned, team-based care improves throughput and preserves psychiatrist capacity
- Strategies to reduce avoidable inpatient admissions and shorten time-to-disposition
- What a structured 3-path model (LCSW-only, LCSW + psychiatrist, psychiatrist-first) looks like in action
