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
