Achieving ROI from digital mental health

To meet rising demand for mental health resources in the face of provider shortages, health systems should lean into virtual and digital solutions. However, it can often be difficult to demonstrate a positive financial return on investment (ROI) with these innovative approaches.

While great strides have been made in the development of evidence-based and clinically effective digital solutions, the complexities of digital care reimbursement in the US has not kept pace with the broader, traditional fee-for-service reimbursement landscape. And inflation and skyrocketing healthcare and labor costs have made a challenging financial landscape, requiring health systems to take a creative approach to maintain financial sustainability and prioritize positive ROI solutions.

In this webinar, we address three ways health systems can maximize this ROI including:

• Providing digital behavioral health as a means to satisfy the Community Benefit requirement under the Affordable Care Act

• Utilizing the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to screen for depression and anxiety and demonstrate clinical improvements

• Using a digital solution as the registry component of the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) within Primary Care
