Many health care providers struggle to meet the urgent mental health care needs of their patients. Forming collaborative partnerships with other community stakeholders, including paramedics, law enforcement, and care management professionals, can help providers assist patients in accessing needed care more quickly and effectively.

Through better coordination, these interdisciplinary teams improve patient care, change ED utilization, and reduce inpatient readmissions.
