Webinar: Best practices for creating a successful telepsychiatry program

COVID-19 has been a wakeup call to the industry about mental health accessibility challenges as patients in need of psychiatric and behavioral health services increase drastically. Many healthcare organizations are struggling to keep up with the influx of behavioral and mental health patient volumes as they face staffing, capacity and reimbursement challenges. Telepsychiatry is a well-researched strategy to provide high-quality, accessible mental health services to patients. But the technology can be implemented and administered incorrectly, leading to poor patient care and a dissatisfied clinical workforce.

Save your seat and learn from our panel of experts as we discuss: 

• The key framework of a successful telepsychiatry program
