Behavioral health conditions show up in the emergency department far too often. It can be a more subtle encounter with patients struggling with pain management or anxiety symptoms, or an outright crisis event, and many variations in between. But there are signals that can be confidently tracked and used to help identify individuals with certain diagnoses or symptoms that may indicate a behavioral health condition, or worse, an overdose or suicide attempt. Once identified, care teams can be alerted, collaborate with the patient’s broader care team, and provide appropriate care and follow up.In this podcast Ian Bruce, Senior Clinical Solutions Lead, PointClickCare and Becky Wilkinson from Providence Health & Services will discuss their success with identifying and providing alternative care options and care collaboration from the ED. This podcast is sponsored by PointClickCare (https://pointclickcare.com/).
