Reliable 24/7 Psychiatric Coverage for Acute Care Hospitals

PsychPlus partners with acute care hospitals to deliver psychiatric services that support emergency departments and inpatient medical units. Our psychiatric providers offer timely consultations, treatment recommendations, patient navigation, and care coordination that extends from admission through discharge.

The challenge isnt access – it’s everything that follows

Acute care hospitals often face delays in psychiatric care, provider shortages, and challenges coordinating care beyond the initial consult. These issues can contribute to prolonged ED stays, increased pressure on clinical staff, and disruptions to patient flow across the hospital.

PsychPlus helps address these operational challenges by supporting more efficient patient movement, stronger care coordination, and greater operational stability.

Operational & Patient Care Outcomes

Improved Patient Flow & Care Coordination

  • 24/7 hybrid provider coverage to improve patient throughput across the ED and medical floors.
  • Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, including medication management, facilitate efficient clinical decision-making and care progression.
  • Dedicated patient navigators to coordinate discharge planning and transitions to the next level of care.  

Result: Shorter ED length of stay, reduced ED boarding, faster bed turnover, and improved hospital-wide throughput.

Reduced Operational Burden

  • Ability to manage medically complex behavioral health patients of all ages – reducing strain on clinical teams.
  • In-person day providers and virtual night coverage maintain consistent support, eliminate temporary coverage solutions and last minute staffing changes.
  • ED patients evaluated within 60 minutes of consult placement allowing early medications management and reduced reliance on sitter utilization.

Results: Reduced sitter utilization, lower staffing strain, and more sustainable hospital operations.

Revenue Protection & Resource Utilization 

  • Structured transition planning and navigation support that improve outcomes and reduce rapid readmissions.
  • PsychPlus manages provider recruitment, scheduling, payor enrollments, billing, and hospital credentialing to reduce administrative workload for hospital teams.
  • Coordinated psychiatric support helps hospitals make more effective use of existing beds, staff, and clinical resources, reducing length-of-stay costs and the need for additional headcount.

Result: Reduced readmission-related costs, improved capacity utilization, healthier margins and stronger financial performance.
