ltraGroup can assist hospital facilities with the development of a true network of behavioral health services. This traditional acute care approach to service line development brings unique challenges and opportunities which, when appropriately addressed, can significantly enhance the hospital's market share in all disease categories.

Effective psychological intervention and support in numerous diagnosis, such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, greatly improve clinical outcomes, lengths of stay, and overall lifestyle improvement.

An integrated network of behavioral health services can range from community support groups, (grief, caregivers, etc.) to large inpatient units with programmatic continuums in regional outpatient settings and from an array of allied health professionals to physician driven telemedicine systems.

During the establishment of a behavioral health network, UltraGroup's leadership can help facilities avoid unnecessary duplication, contract with third-party payers, and access a proven implementation schedule.
