Ohio's SFY23 Crisis Academy Series: The EmPATH Model and Behavioral Health Urgent Care

 

DESCRIPTION:

This webinar focuses on both the Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment and Healing (EmPATH) and Behavioral Health Urgent Care models, as well as how they are being used within the crisis continuum of care. Dr. Scott Zeller, the developer of the EmPATH model, will be sharing how hospital systems have utilized this model to improve client care while avoiding unnecessary time in traditional emergency departments. Travis Atkinson from TBD Solutions will provide an overview of behavioral health urgent care models. Additionally, two local systems of care will share their experiences starting a psychiatric urgent care unit, the challenges and opportunities they have encountered, and how the unit has improved crisis care in their community.
