Thursday, May 15, 2025  
1 - 2 p.m. Eastern; noon - 1 p.m. Central; 10 - 11 a.m. Pacific

There are many challenges to operating a hospital behavioral health inpatient unit. Understanding the common challenges and their impact on the overall viability of a hospital’s behavioral health program is crucial.

In this webinar, you’ll hear a case study from a hospital that struggled for many years to improve its behavioral health’s clinical and operational performance. After a thorough assessment of their internal and external partnership options, the hospital's leadership made the proactive decision to partner with Horizon Health to manage the unit. This collaboration was aimed at identifying and addressing the root causes of the behavioral health program’s sub-optimal performance, ultimately leading to significant improvements in their behavioral health department. Learn how the hospital approached its challenges, learned from its experiences and started making progress towards improvement. Positive results included process improvement acceleration, leadership and staff development, best practices creation, policy and procedure updates, and improvements in access to care and patient outcomes. Join us to learn how having access to a team of experts providing tools, resources and training can help optimize clinical and operational performance to improve care and access for your communities.  

Attendees Will Learn: 

  • Common challenges impeding high performance in your inpatient behavioral health department.  
  • How to improve the quality of care and expand access to behavioral health services in your community by effectively addressing challenges and implementing necessary updates. 
  • How to optimize performance through a partnership model providing expert tools, resources and training.
