Presentations
Crisis Response Center: A Hub and Spoke Model for Behavioral Health
Presentation by Dr. Margie Balfour, MD, PhD, Chief of Quality and Clinical Innovation at Connections Health Solutions; Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Arizona. January 29, 2021
Hosted by the Oregon Chief Justice's Behavioral Health Advisory Committee.
In this presentation, Dr. Balfour describes the Crisis Response Center (CRC), a regional 24/7 clinically staffed hub/crisis call center in Pima County, Arizona. She highlights CRC’s “no wrong door” alternative to emergency departments, inpatient hospitalization, and arrest through rapid triage and assessment, treatment and crisis stabilization, and connection to community resources; CRC’s use of Medicaid dollars to fund the bulk of its treatment services; and CRC’s success in stabilizing and releasing most people within 24 hours.
