Services Offered

Compass Health partners with Community Hospitals to address the challenge of overcrowded emergency rooms. We work closely with Hospital Case Management and Emergency Departments to coordinate treatment for patients in need of psychiatric care. Our goal is to improve throughput of psychiatric patients in the Emergency Room by providing appropriate placement options in a timely manner. The result is a decrease in the amount of time a psychiatric patient waits in the Emergency Room, improved appropriate patient dispositions, and ultimately, reduced costs for the hospital.

Compass Health uses telemedicine to provide psychiatric consultations within community hospital emergency departments and medical floors. Our Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners work alongside the hospital medical team to evaluate and treat patients exhibiting psychiatric symptoms.
