Staffed by psychiatrists, nurses, nursing assistants and social workers, the new facility is located at the health system’s Cleveland Heights Medical Center and can accommodate up to13 patients, according to an Oct. 16 news release. Cleveland Heights is home to the system’s behavioral health hospital, which opened in 2022. 

In recent years, health systems nationwide have ramped up investments in behavioral healthcare services to improve access to appropriate levels of care and alleviate pressure on hospital emergency departments. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
