First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether evaluating patients in a psychiatric emergency room through a video link can help them get care faster and reduce violent incidents. Researchers will compare patients assessed via video to similar patients from the past who were seen in person. The goal is to see if video evaluations are a safe and acceptable way to speed up care.
