Mental Health Care in Crisis: What Clinicians and Leaders Need to Know

Mental Health Care in Crisis: What Clinicians and Leaders Need to Know

Patient demand for mental and behavioral health services has surged to unprecedented levels. For many health care organizations, meeting this demand has been compounded by staffing shortages as well as challenges with reimbursement and payment models. The good news? With innovative care redesign and digital solutions, health care providers and their organizations can transform mental and behavioral health care delivery.
