Cutting Discharge Delays: A Smarter Approach to Behavioral Health Transitions

Share:

In today’s healthcare environment, hospital CEOs are facing a growing challenge: behavioral health patients boarding in emergency departments due to a lack of timely treatment placement. These delays impact patient outcomes, tie up valuable resources, and create costly inefficiencies.

RecoverWell offers a system-level solution.

RecoverWell is a HIPAA-compliant, web-based platform that connects hospital discharge planners with vetted behavioral health and substance use programs in real time. Instead of relying on phone trees, outdated faxes, and informal contacts, social workers can submit a single referral and reach multiple programs within minutes.

Reduce Length of Stay and ED Congestion

Every hour a patient waits for discharge placement adds cost and risk. RecoverWell enables your care teams to:

  • Find available beds faster (often in under 15 minutes)
  • Receive placement approvals in less than an hour
  • Expedite discharge and reduce average length of stay

Increase Throughput Without Adding Staff

Hospitals using RecoverWell have reported a noticeable reduction in care delays. By automating the referral process and surfacing only programs that match clinical criteria, your team can make faster, more accurate referrals without increasing workload or staff size.

Strengthen Network Coordination

RecoverWell gives you visibility into which providers are responsive, which programs accept your patients, and how long it typically takes to place someone. This data allows your leadership team to:

  • Track discharge patterns
  • Improve care coordination across departments
  • Identify gaps in community behavioral health capacity

Ethically Aligned, Zero Cost to Hospitals

RecoverWell is entirely free for hospitals. We do not profit from patients or referrals. Our network includes only providers that meet strict compliance standards—and for-profit facilities pay a flat fee to be vetted and monitored.

This is the kind of scalable, ethically grounded technology that hospitals need to navigate behavioral health demands in a post-pandemic world.
