Specialist Leader Deloitte Consulting San Diego, California, United States
Abbreviated Description : The crisis response landscape has grown increasingly complex amid rising demand, diminishing COVID-era funding, and traditional reliance on costly law enforcement responses. This presentation introduces DIRECT, an approach to crisis care that is designed to highlight the systemic value of behavioral health interventions. This talk will walk through the core pillars of DIRECT: Foundations of Diversion, Building the Calculator, and Measuring the Impact. Project DIRECT aims to foster new funding models that will increase access and availability of treatment, reduce costs, and improve outcomes by reducing higher levels of care.
