Behavioral and Mental Health care has been affected in recent history by changes in legislation and reimbursement. Diverse and pressing needs for psychiatric and behavioral health care are the result. Hear how designers and clinicians are responding to the needs of varied patients’ cohorts, and where the money is coming from.
This panel will explain trends and issues in designing environments that provide a range of therapeutic options, the sources of funding recently available for each, and the criteria applied by the agencies that license and administer these types of facilities.
Learn the ways in which the overlapping presence of physical and mental health conditions is influencing the design of care venues, and ultimately integrating whole-person health care while removing stigmas to obtaining treatment. Our panel will bring this broad topic into focus.
