National Association for Behavioral Healthcare: Telehealth is Effectively Augmenting Traditional Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs

The National Association for Behavioral Healthcare (NABH) Education and Research Foundation and Manatt released an issue brief that highlights how telehealth services effectively augment traditional partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). Results from the study show that using telehealth services improved access to care and optimized the reach of existing personnel. The initial findings from several NABH members also indicated that, relative to in-person services, telehealth delivery-of-care produced similar or better outcomes for PHP and IOP patients.
