Emergency & Acute Behavioral Health Support
Jason’s overdose was not the end of his story.
He woke up in the emergency department, stabilized but withdrawn. Without the right support in that moment, he could easily end up right back there again.
Behavioral health crises demand immediate response.
Patients arrive in emergency and inpatient settings every day experiencing acute behavioral health needs. Without timely access to psychiatric support, care is delayed, boarding increases, and pressure builds across the entire system.
Stabilize behavioral health crises without slowing care delivery
Iris helps you integrate psychiatric care directly into emergency and inpatient settings, so patients can be evaluated, stabilized, and transitioned quickly while care teams maintain safe, efficient operations.
