Story Behind the Curve
- The Department of Mental Health’s (DMH) goal is to continue to place individuals in appropriate beds as soon as they are available.
- The timely transition of people to inpatient care requires active management daily for individuals of all statuses in need of hospital care.
- The inpatient psychiatric system of care's capacity is founded upon the need for balance between admissions and discharges.
- When there are more admissions than discharges, the system's capacity is reduced and clients may wait longer for inpatient placement.
- DMH's Adult Care Management Team works with each of Vermont's Designated Hospitals (DHs) to coordinate admissions and support the relevant systems of care in moving people needing care through the system.
- This team focuses on longer-term planning for individuals needing ongoing support and treatment services, which includes monitoring availability of placements in various levels of community-based programs across the state.
