  • Title: The Changing Health Policy Environment and Behavioral Health Services Delivery.
    Author: Medford-Davis LN, Beall RC.
    Journal: Psychiatr Clin North Am; 2017 Sep; 40(3):533-540. PubMed ID: 28800807.
    Abstract:
    Deinstitutionalization has left an inadequate supply of inpatient psychiatric beds. Simultaneous cuts to public funding and insurance coverage for outpatient mental health treatment have increased the frequency of acute psychiatric crises. The resulting lack of available options has shifted the burden of treatment to emergency departments and the criminal justice system. Recent legislation has improved insurance access, but rules are not always enforced and there are still few options for care. Discussion of mental health care delivery must acknowledge that many emergent behavioral health crises arise in the context of acute substance intoxication, withdrawal, or dependence.
