“Virtual care in behavioral health is a game changer. The unfortunate reality is that 70% of counties in our country do not have a licensed child psychiatrist and 60% do not have a licensed psychiatrist.
Additionally, virtual care allows you to leverage resources across geographies to ensure resources are being used efficiently so that smaller populations can still receive great care. So, virtual care must be part of the story. But, again, it comes down to the ‘how.’
The answer is dedicated virtual care teams with local integration. There must be trust between virtual and in-person teams with shared goals, technology platforms, and communication mechanisms.”
