Bridging the Care Gap in Ohio with Telepsychiatry

Like many states across the country, Ohio is experiencing an extreme shortage of mental and behavioral health clinicians. Due to the lack of access to mental health clinicians, healthcare organizations are often unable to meet patient demand. To bridge this gap in care, many Ohio healthcare facilities have adopted the use of telepsychiatry.

Telepsychiatry is a care model in which clinicians provide mental and behavioral healthcare remotely through HIPAA-compliant video conferencing technology. Treatment via telepsychiatry can include a range of services, such as psychiatric evaluations, consultation services, medication management, and counseling services. Patients can access care remotely from licensed psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and licensed clinical social workers in a variety of settings. Additionally, healthcare organizations and health systems benefit from the opportunity to offer expanded access to psychiatric services to the patients they serve.

Telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, effectiveness, quality of care, and patient satisfaction, making it a viable solution for your Ohio healthcare facility.

Ohio Mental Health Statistics

According to Mental Health America, which compares access to care and the prevalence of mental illness among all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on 15 adult and youth measures, Ohio ranks 33rd overall, 21st in access to care, and 40th in prevalence of mental illness. These scores indicate that Ohio has high rates of mental illness and lower rates of care access.

Additionally, data from the American Academy of Children and Adolescent Psychiatry reveals that there are only 14 child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAPs) per 100,000 children below the age of 18 in Ohio—only 365 CAPs are available to serve the state’s 2,593,300+ children.

The discrepancy between the number of individuals seeking mental and behavioral healthcare and the number of services and clinicians available in Ohio is a significant barrier, leading to higher wait times and a lack of specialty treatment for patients. Unfortunately, due to wait times and availability, many patients will go without care.

What our Partners Say About innovaTel

“As a result of our hybrid approach to care, we have seen a notable reduction in no-shows. If a patient prefers to receive care at home, we arrange for that. However, that option is not clinically appropriate for every patient, so the hybrid model allows us to see patients in-person, too. We believe patient choice is the future.”

Walt Hill, CEO High Plains Mental Health Center
