    u.4.Untitled.001.jpeg

    Mental illness touches us all. If you are not one in 5 US adults who is personally affected in any given year, you most likely know someone who is. Worst of all, the existing stigma and discrimination prevents people from seeking the help they need. Health Systems are tasked and committed to change, but with the utilization of conventional methods the engagement will remain inequitable, the available workforce will still be insufficient, and the challenges around operationalization and efficiencies will continue to grow. 

    We at GeaCom are committed to patient equity, quality of care and solving longstanding challenges though innovation. We are proud that CITE solutions make a difference for patients and staff in all care settings, specifically in mental health. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s take a look how CITE solutions solve longstanding challenges in mental health.

    1 in 5 Adults in America experience mental illness 

    GeaCom’s solution empowers medical practices across the country to operationalize systematic mental health screenings, brief interventions and referral to treatment (SBIRT). Phrazer/Kitsune engages all patients equally, regardless of language, cultural background, level of literacy and provides relevant, personalized mental health engagements throughout their journey. Utilize CITE solutions to make mental health a priority for your community. From mental health inpatient units to outpatient programs, CITE solutions have been proven effective to benefit patients, staff and enterprise efforts around mental health.

    Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide.

    As a platform for innovation, Phrazer/Kitsune is fully adaptable to your practice and offers illness-specific engagement modules, such as Depression, Bipolar disorder, or Anxiety for your entire patient population. Empower your patients to author their own chart and experience value-based care without stigma or human bias. Involve family members more deeply in the care process by utilizing specific engagements for family and loved ones. Additionally, the Patient Entertainment Portal & Services on Phrazer offers a sensory integration module that patients and family can access anytime for calming sounds and images, general mental health topics and guided exercises, such as breathing techniques, meditation or brain gym. For staff, the CITE system offers competency development modules around mental health, process adherence support and real-time, actionable information for a meaningful interaction.
