What a great show, thanks Nashville!

I think it's important for every healthcare organization to have a copy of Regroup and OSF Health System’s case study that examines the effectiveness of a telepsychiatry program that combines direct care with consultation services. You can download it here:

OSF HealthCare Combines Direct-to-Patient and eConsult Telepsychiatry to Improve Rural Care Access

Noteworthy results:

• Asynchronous and synchronous eConsults allowed for more appropriate referrals to a behavioral health specialists.
• Introducing telepsychiatry in an outpatient setting decreased wait times from 6 months to 6 weeks, which represents a 75% reduction in wait time.  
• For patients who require in-person psychiatry, the availability of telepsychiatry reduced wait time from 6 months to 3 months.  

If you have questions about our presentation, or would like more information about integrating telepsychiatrists into your healthcare model, contact us. 

With pleasure, 

Dr. Hossam Mahmoud
