4 Historical Challenges: Behavioral Crisis Patients Mental Health Stigma & Desire for Better Care Increased Liability & Inpatient Admissions Psychiatric Patient is Time-Consuming Inadequate Medical Necessity Documentation Lack of Access to Behavioral Health Resources Re-Admissions in Emergency Settings 3 DEC System Solution Diagnostics Evaluation Centralized Coordination of Care A licensed mental health professional diagnoses and documents via a web-based, based, HIPAA-compliant, modernized software system.
