Mental Health & Addictions includes a broad range of services and programs including Acute Inpatient Care, Crisis Response and Emergency Services, Urgent and Short Term Treatment, Withdrawal Management, Addiction Services, Case Management, Early Psychosis Intervention, Psychiatric Out-patient Services, Residential Housing and Supported Living Services.
PathWays Mental Health & Addictions™ coordinates the referral process by giving clinicians a real-time view of the complete inventory of services, along with admission criteria, client appropriateness, estimated wait times and real-time referral. Its matching engine provides referral decision support, leveraging data from the jurisdiction’s chosen MDS assessment — helping clinicians make the best possible patient placement decisions, while allowing the clinician's best judgment and experience to be the final word.
As in all deployments of the Strata PathWays™ suite, real-time reporting captures clinical trends for immediate decision support and long term strategic resource planning.
Strata PathWays Mental Health & Addictions™ was developed in partnership with the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) and went live there in February 2008.
