Summary of Key Points:
- Demand for mental health care is increasing across all ages
- Traditional models have limitations that digital models can overcome including access and bridging disparities
- Behavioural health clinicians can only meet 28% of patients’ behavioural health needs across the US through traditional means
- When given the opportunity to flourish, virtual care works for patients and clinicians across the care continuum. The more telehealth is validated as a permanent fixture in healthcare with proper reimbursement, the better off our country’s mental health will be.
