Overview
Thanks to the underwriting support of HAPevolve and XFERALL, a HAPevolve industry partner, this webinar is complimentary for all HAP members.
Emergency departments nationwide continue to struggle with the psychiatric boarding crisis, where behavioral health patients experience prolonged waits—often hours or days—resulting in overcrowding, increased staff burnout, and delays in care for all patients. Psychiatric patients typically face boarding times three to four times longer than medical patients, further compounding system strain.
Join Shana Palmieri, LCSW, health care executive and health tech innovator, for an insightful webinar centered on real-world case studies that demonstrate successful strategies to reduce ED psychiatric boarding. Drawing from over 20 years of clinical, administrative, and innovation experience, Shana will share practical examples from children’s hospitals, health system command centers, individual hospital workflows, and collaborative placement models involving counties and community partners.
