During the early COVID-19 pandemic, most psychiatric facilities did not admit SARS-CoV-2-positive youth, resulting in prolonged emergency department (ED) boarding and delayed psychiatric care. In response, our hospital enacted a small, single-site, innovative pilot enabling psychiatric admission of SARS-CoV-2-positive patients with lower behavioral acuity to an inpatient medical unit for comprehensive telepsychiatry programming. Patients transferred to the Telepsychiatry Model from our EDs or hospital medicine service after medical clearance.

Unmet social needs may hinder health care providers' ability to deliver suitable care. Telehealth has emerged as a mechanism to broaden care reach; however, limited studies have examined the relationships between telehealth services and social need outcomes. This study explores the impact of telehealth services, encompassing (1) telestroke, (2) telepsychiatry and addiction treatment, (3) teleconsultation and office visits,(4) tele-intensive care units, (5) telemonitoring postdischarge, (6) ongoing chronic care management, and (7) other remote monitoring, on social need performance outcomes.

While pediatric mental health emergencies are increasing in frequency and severity, psychiatric resources remain concentrated in tertiary care facilities. Telepsychiatry has successfully mitigated these challenges in rural emergency departments (EDs), suggesting potential benefits for urban EDs that lack psychiatric resources. We implemented telepsychiatry in an urban ED to reduce ED length of stay and the need for transferring pediatric patients with mental and behavioral health complaints.
