From Hidden Risk to Controllable Spend: Rethinking High-Acuity Care
Crisis care, neurodiversity, addiction, pediatrics, and physical coexisting conditions represent some of the most nuanced and complex mental health needs. They are also among the most costly drivers of employer health care spend. We’ll examine how costs can escalate when high-acuity care is delayed or fragmented, and how leading employers are redesigning care pathways to get people the care they need the first time. You’ll hear practical lessons on early intervention, organizational strategies, and measuring outcomes that reduce downstream spend while delivering better results for employees and their families.
