HOUSTON, Oct. 4, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Nutex Health Inc. ("Nutex Health" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ: NUTX), a physician-led, technology-enabled integrated
healthcare delivery system comprised of 22 state-of-the-art micro
hospitals in 8 states and primary care-centric, risk-bearing
physician networks, today announced that SE Texas ER & Hospital
will be incorporating 24/7 behavioral health services along with
emergency care in its hospital.
Nutex-affiliated hospital, SE Texas ER & Hospital, located
at 19211 McKay Drive in Humble, TX
can now offer specialized treatment for both adult and adolescent
patients with acute psychiatric needs in the emergency room, in
conjunction with a psychiatric provider. By partnering with
psychiatric providers via a secure Telehealth platform, patients
will undergo a psychiatric evaluation in the ER and receive a
personalized treatment plan, including psychiatric interventions in
the ER if needed.
With this initiative, Nutex aims to expand the hospital's reach
and provide a solution for a much-needed service in traditional
ERs, as well as reducing ER boarding time, which historically has
been a major issue in emergency departments. Nutex hopes that
this initiative will open new doors for other Nutex-affiliated
hospitals in the future.
"Behavioral health emergencies have always been a major problem
in ERs. Currently, these patients would have to wait hours or
days to be seen by a psychiatric provider, causing major disruption
to both the patients' lives as well as the emergency
departments. With our model, among the first in the country,
these patients will be seen in real time by a psychiatric provider
in addition to the ER physician. This treatment combination
allows these patients to be treated and discharged with follow-up
directly from the ER, unlike most other current behavioral health
patients," stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health.
"Nutex is going to fill a large community need for mental health
intervention with these new services. I'm thrilled that we now
provide acute, expedient and individualized mental health care in a
setting where the patient is comfortable. This initiative was
implemented with our patient-first philosophy at the center,"
stated Michael Chang, MD, FAAEM,
Chief Medical Officer at SE Texas ER & Hospital.
