This month — and beyond — Iris Telehealth is proud to partner with Becker’s Healthcare for a powerful series of conversations and resources focused on some of healthcare’s most urgent challenges and how telebehavioral health can help.
From emergency department overcrowding to waitlist backlogs and clinician burnout, behavioral health challenges are stretching systems thin. That’s why we’re collaborating with leading voices to offer solutions that are scalable, sustainable, and centered on better outcomes.
Here’s what we’re up to with Becker’s:
New Whitepaper: How Health Systems Are Solving for Behavioral Health Through Virtual Care
Now available, our latest whitepaper explores how leading organizations like Allina Health, Geisinger, and Elliot Health System are using virtual behavioral health integration to improve access, reduce strain on emergency departments, and create better care pathways.
Featured outcomes:
- 25% reduction in ED length of stay at Allina Health
- 83% decrease in referral backlog at Geisinger (from 18,000 to 3,000)
- Intake appointment wait times reduced from 60 days to 1–3 business days at Elliot Health
