The Impact of Bridge Care Services on Effective Behavioral Health Care

Meeting patients with timely access to quality care and prompt, proper follow-up after discharge is essential to their care journeys. And, for healthcare organizations, the inability to efficiently meet patient needs with top-of-license providers can be disheartening and costly.
