Description
Only 23% of people seek help for mental health issues, and even fewer receive effective care. Traditionally, parity has focused on providing equal access to treatment for mental health compared to other medical conditions, and that is its current trajectory. However, more access doesn’t always mean the treatment provided is up to par. For true parity, access to top-tier treatment that produces long-term positive outcomes must be accessible. This talk will dive into the history and expected trajectory of parity. It addresses how the healthcare industry can adapt to achieve a state of accessible, quality treatments ensuring sustained positive outcomes.
