How Virtual Care Transforms the ED

Every year, 4.9 million people seeking care in the emergency department have a primary diagnosis related to a mental or behavioral health condition. With such high demand for care, helping these people get the treatment they need is crucial – for patients and hospitals alike.

However, hospitals and health systems aren’t always equipped with the right resources, leading to psychiatric boarding, unnecessary admissions, and frequent revisits. Despite these challenges, investing in telepsychiatry can help innovate your organization’s approach to mental health care.

This piece breaks down what telepsychiatry is, the benefits of using this platform in the ED, how it works, and what it looks like in action.

At Iris Telehealth, we help hospitals and health systems meet their community’s needs with high-quality, sustainable behavioral health solutions. Whether you’re facing frequent revisits or unnecessary admissions, we can help. Together, we can secure the right provider fit for your population and help meet your organization’s behavioral health goals.

Finding the Psychiatry Job of Your Dreams

Job hunting can be a stressful process, and there’s a lot to consider when navigating your next career move. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive guide to help you determine what questions you should be asking during the interview process, your non-negotiables, and what a career in telepsychiatry might look like.

We hope this checklist helps you make the right decisions for your long-term psychiatry career — all while maintaining the work-life balance you’ve always dreamed of.

For many providers, telepsychiatry can tick all the boxes. But one of the reasons Iris providers love it so much is because of the low-stress environment. Because of the nature of remote work, the computer screen can help create a barrier that gives providers time to step away, take movement breaks, and ultimately help lower compassion fatigue.

Telepsychiatry can also help patients feel more comfortable, creating a greater sense of privacy that may help them open up more than they might in person.
