Acute Care & Inpatient Mental Health | Hospital Behavioral Health
Behavioral health solutions designed for the realities of hospital care.
In the acute care environment, behavioral health isn’t optional — it’s essential to operational efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Integrated Psych Solutions (IPS) partners with hospitals to bring on-site, data-driven behavioral health coverage that improves patient flow, reduces unnecessary costs, and supports better decision-making across departments.
Our hospital programs are led by experienced clinicians who understand the complexity of inpatient settings — from the emergency department to medical-surgical floors and ICU consults.
