Transforming Mental Health Crisis into Care: The EmPATH Approach
Tue, Aug 4, 2026 · 5:30 PM ET
About
The session unpacks the EmPATH (Emergency Psychiatry Assessment, Treatment, and Healing) Unit model, which routes behavioral-health crises into a calm, communal treatment setting instead of a standard emergency room, with proponents citing improved patient satisfaction, less use of restraints, fewer hospitalizations, and freed-up emergency capacity. Keynote speaker Scott Zeller, MD, vice president for psychiatry at Vituity, is joined by Northwell Health's Andrea Bianculli, with Cortech's Kevin Claffy moderating.
