Overview

In 2017, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) convened the Michigan Inpatient Psychiatric Admissions Discussion workgroup (MIPAD). They studied and generated recommendations to address access issues around psychiatric hospitalization. 

MDHHS, along with its community partners, is in the process of implementing many of these recommendations through the Michigan Psychiatric Care Improvement Project (MPCIP). These projects include: Michigan Crisis and Access Line (MiCAL), Medical Clearance Algorithm (MI-SMART), and Psychiatric Bed Registry.

There is recognition that each of these initiatives on its own will not solve this multi-faceted complex issue, but together they can have a positive impact.
