The Promise and Pitfalls of Behavioral Health Urgent Care

Healthcare Business Today recently published a column by Co-Managing Partner Jason Goldman titled, “The Promise and Pitfalls of Behavioral Health Urgent Care.”

In the piece, Jason explores how behavioral health urgent care centers can expand access to mental health care, close critical gaps in behavioral healthcare delivery and address the legal and compliance risks that come with treating patients in crisis.

Jason highlights key considerations for healthcare operators, including patient care protocols, behavioral health screening, escalation processes, staff training and clinical documentation. As organizations develop new models for mental health services, strong risk management and patient safety measures will be essential to building effective behavioral health urgent care programs.
