Avel eCare Behavioral Health

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and quality, mental health and substance abuse cases accounted for one in eight emergency room visits in the United States in 2010. Considering 65 percent of non-metropolitan counties do not have a psychiatrist and 47 percent of these same counties do not have a psychologist, there is a clear demand for specialized care for mental health cases. Telepsychiatry can bridge this divide.

Avel eCare Behavioral Health addresses this demand by providing emergency departments, inpatient behavioral health and acute inpatient units with expert evaluations from mental health professionals.

Through a secure connection, facilities will have 24/7 access to an interdisciplinary behavioral health team who assists with admission support, medication management, and assessment services.

Organizations who utilize Avel eCare Behavioral Health services are equipped to meet both the physical and mental needs of patients while reducing their length of stay in the emergency room and providing the highest quality of care.
