Minnesota Study of Behavioral Health Discharge Delays
Emergency Departments and Inpatient Hospital Beds
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is conducting a study to measure the volume and reasons for behavioral health transfer and discharge delays for emergency departments and inpatient units.
The study focuses on quantifying service needs—both inside and outside of hospitals in surrounding communities. It will also inform policy and practice within the mental health infrastructure in Minnesota.
