Hospitals all over the country are overwhelmed by an increasing number of patients with behavioral health issues. Many use the emergency department to access care and end up staying in the hospital for a more extended time.  These patients jeopardize health care workers safety and impede their own ability to receive necessary care. The University of Kansas Health System developed a Behavioral Response Team to intervene with these patients that has shown positive results for the organization and their patients. Guests:Teresa Long, MDAssociate Professor for Psychiatry and Internal MedicineUniversity of Kansas Health System Heidi BoehmQuality Outcome CoordinatorUniversity of Kansas Health System Show Notes: [[[[[[[[ Links | Resources:Watch the Vizient Behavioral Response Team webcast here for additional details.For more information, email [email protected] Subscribe Today!Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsAndroidStitcherRSS Feed
