Tap into our trusted network to scale services with on-demand and scheduled virtual psychiatry.
As one of the nation’s largest networks of board eligible/board-certified psychiatrists, Amwell Psychiatric Care shifts the burden away from emergency and hospital physicians by providing rapid support and consultations for psychiatric crises in emergency departments (EDs) and acute inpatient medical floors, as well as outpatient and inpatient coverage.
Deliver timely psychiatric expertise in the ED
Reduce length of stay and improve throughput
Improve access to care and minimize provider burnout
Provide coverage during times of limited staff availability
Our virtual psychiatrists evaluate patients and help your team make knowledgeable recommendations around discharges, inpatient transfers, and hospitalizations.
Our average ED response time of 90 minutes means patients are seen sooner, improving ED throughput and decreasing costs associated with ED boarding. On-demand and scheduled telepsychiatry care means your patients are seen sooner, improving key metrics like patient outcomes, length of stay, and cost.
Remote psychiatrists expand access to psychiatric care in hospital facilities and increase support for in-person staff.
