2022 Stronger - P105 - Improving Access to Inpatient Care for Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Psychiatry Patients - On Demand

According to Stanford emergency department (ED) 2021 data, psychiatric patients in the ED who are publicly insured or uninsured are less likely to be accepted for transfer to another facility, despite the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act law requiring facilities to accept patients regardless of ability to pay. This project highlighted the compounded marginalization of an already stigmatized patient population within the health system. In line with Stanford’s mission and values for diversity, equity and inclusion, we believe this project represents how to be at the forefront of a commonly known, but rarely addressed issue.

Target Audience

  • Nurses
  • Other Healthcare Professionals

Learning Objectives

Identify the primary cause of health care disparity related to inaccessible mental health care for psychiatric patients.
