Reducing Wait Times for Crisis Intervention

1–2 minutes

In an era where mental health is rightfully gaining attention, our startup is dedicated to addressing one of the most critical aspects: reducing wait times for those in crisis. We take view of a study demonstrating remarkable improvements in a mental health center’s efficiency and patient outcomes by implementing systematic changes. The study reduced psychiatric appointment wait times from 13 days to none, significantly lowered no-show rates, and decreased crisis hospitalizations. This not only enhanced patient care but also boosted staff morale and saved costs.

Our mission mirrors these achievements. We believe that immediate access to care can transform lives, preventing the escalation of mental health crises and fostering a supportive, efficient healthcare environment. Let’s prioritize mental health by ensuring help is available when it’s most needed.
