Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This American Psychiatric Association resource document examines the phenomenon of 'boarding,' where patients with severe mental illness wait extended periods in emergency departments due to a lack of adequate community-based services. It discusses the historical shift toward deinstitutionalization and the resulting systemic gaps that leave many individuals without appropriate care options. The text provides an overview of the causes and consequences of this overflow, along with recommendations for both emergency department-focused and systemwide solutions.
