Description
Untreated behavioral health needs frequently drive avoidable hospital readmissions and emergency department visits. This panel examines how targeted behavioral health interventions, from discharge planning to community-based follow-up, are helping health systems reduce utilization, improve patient outcomes, and lower costs, offering models other organizations can adapt to their own settings.
