Out-Patient Psychiatry Practices
Current challenges: –
- Current wait time to get intake appointment is 6 weeks to 6 months depending.
- Provider spends 45-60 min in history taking and 30-40 min in typing the intake notes
- Only able to see limited number of patients a day
- High provider burnout and huge patient backlog
Emergency Departments
Current challenges: 40% people go to ER for their mental health needs
ERs are ill-equipped to meet the demand
Wait time for triage from 6 hours to 6 days in ER depending. Hold up on beds
Staff and patient frustration. Patients lost to follow up
Primary care or Family practice offices
Current challenges: 70% mental health issues are managed by Primary care or family practitioners. Over-burdened practices with limited time available per patient and poor reimbursements.
Patients may come in for other medical issues as chief complaints but on their way out or during evaluation, may bring up mental health symptoms or even suicidal ideations.
Provider is ill-equipped to do proper risk assessment thus creating excessive backlog in practice for other waiting patients and risks losing the revenue for that unreimbursed excessive time used in coordination of care or referral/ triage. Available BHI/ CoCM program.
Educational systems
Current challenges: 79 Million children have mental illness and 80% do not have access to mental health care.
Schools ill-equipped to help children with mental illness due to limited training and resources and funding.
School staff ends up calling 911 frequently for disruptive children without determining cause behind it. Causes frustration in families.
Higher rates of school dropouts, suicide and juvenile crimes without early and timely interventions.
Corporate Sector
Current Challenges: Employee burnout is increasing. Recent COVID has caused WFH, social isolation, limited child care options to worsen the situation. Burned out employee has high medical cost and more utilization of health care services, higher rate of attrition and higher cost to company to replace the employee.
Payers/ Insurance Companies
Current challenges: Mental health issues causes increase in challenges to take care of co-morbidities and hence over usage of health care system. Timely Mental Health Care access is challenging due to provider shortage and fewer providers in insurance networks.
