Mental illness touches us all. If you are not one in 5 US adults who is personally affected in any given year, you most likely know someone who is. Worst of all, the existing stigma and discrimination prevents people from seeking the help they need. Health Systems are tasked and committed to change, but with the utilization of conventional methods the engagement will remain inequitable, the available workforce will still be insufficient, and the challenges around operationalization and efficiencies will continue to grow.
We at GeaCom are committed to patient equity, quality of care and solving longstanding challenges though innovation. We are proud that CITE solutions make a difference for patients and staff in all care settings, specifically in mental health. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s take a look how CITE solutions solve longstanding challenges in mental health.
