The NH Rapid Response Access Point phone number went live Jan. 1 and will work to reduce the number of mental health patients coming into New Hampshire’s emergency rooms. 

People who call the number will receive over-the-phone support to help them navigate through their mental health crisis. The phone support also includes referrals to outpatient services or, if necessary, the dispatching of a mobile crisis unit.

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.
