Banner Health in the Phoenix, AZ, metropolitan area provides individuals in a behavioral health crisis with an alternative to presenting to an Emergency Department (ED). By implementing a process to quickly move patients out of our ED, our health care system has been able to greatly reduce the hold time for behavioral health patients. Through access to psychiatric clinicians around the clock at the Banner Psychiatric Center, patients now receive the appropriate treatment and needed care in a timely manner. Finally, disposition of patients into appropriate levels of care has freed up acute care Level 1 beds to be available to patients who meet those criteria.
位于亚利桑那州凤凰城大都市区的班纳健康机构为处于行为健康危机中的个人提供了一种替代前往急诊科（ED）的选择。通过实施一个流程，使患者能够快速离开我们的急诊科，我们的医疗系统得以大幅减少行为健康患者的滞留时间。通过班纳精神病中心全天候为患者提供精神科临床医生的服务，患者现在能够及时获得适当的治疗和所需的护理。最后，将患者安置到适当的护理级别，腾出了一级急症护理床位，以供符合标准的患者使用。
