In an ideal world, every ED would have a specialized psychiatric emergency services unit available to it so that patients who present with behavioral health issues would have ready access to the kind of care that they need. That, at least, is what Rachel Glick, MD,clinical professor of psychiatry and director of Psychiatric Emergency Services at the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, MI, sees as the optimal set-up for both patients and providers. And she feels fortunate that this is the kind of care environment that she works in on a daily basis."We are adjacent to the main ED. Patients can come directly to us, and many of our patients know we are here, and know if the issue is psychiatric, that they should come directly to us. However, we also get transfers from the medical ED," explains Glick. The arrangement works well because when a patient's medical assessment is completed and there are no active medical issues, then he or she can be quickly transferred over to the separate, but adjacent psychiatric unit where specialized care can commence, and throughput to the main ED is optimized, adds Glick.
