Behavioral Health
Expand Access to Care Through Telepsychiatry
The National Healthcare Challenges Avel eCare Is Solving
Behavioral health remains one of the most pressing challenges in healthcare. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, mental health and substance use cases accounted for one in eight emergency room visits in the United States. Many communities face significant barriers in accessing timely psychiatric support, leaving emergency departments, inpatient units, and care teams stretched thin.
Avel eCare Behavioral Health is designed to close those gaps. Through secure telepsychiatry connections, we bring immediate access to licensed behavioral health professionals who can evaluate, consult, and support clinicians around the clock. With clinician-to-clinician collaboration at the core, Avel eCare ensures patients receive the right level of care when it matters most.
