Mercy Health Expands Partnership With InTouch Health To Offer Behavioral Health Virtual Care Services
InTouch Health (InTouch) recently announced it is expanding its partnership with Mercy Health (Mercy) in order to offer inpatient behavioral health services virtually to Mercy hospitals throughout the Northwest Ohio region. Mercy sees the move as an improvement to its efforts to treat the whole individual—mind, body, and spirit.
Through the expanded partnership, consumers under Mercy will have access to telepsychiatry services, allowing for more effective and timely care. InTouch anticipates that the expanded partnership will allow access to broader virtual care services on a single platform, helping consumers overcome barriers to receiving the mental health services they need . . .
