Demand for mental healthcare services is growing, and emergency departments are feeling the strain, both operationally and financially. The average cost of boarding a psychiatric patient in the emergency department is $2,264 — that's $130 per hour added on top of the cost of simply occupying a bed for expenses such as sitters and security.

In this webinar, industry experts will share how digital mental health and automated care tools fit into a health system's comprehensive behavioral health strategy and help them save on avoidable costs.

  • Understanding the strained operational and financial future
