Podcast: Dr. Glen Rebman on Becker’s Behavioral Health Podcast
Reimagining Behavioral Health in Post-Acute Care Through Telepsychiatry
Lumina Care’s CMO of Telepsychiatry, Dr. Glen Rebman, D.O., recently offered unique insights into the ways telepsychiatry is improving behavioral health care delivery in post-acute care.
“There’s a movement in the field to try and recognize and treat people earlier… The evidence shows, the faster you’re able to treat something, the better the outcomes tend to be.”
In this exclusive interview, Dr. Rebman details the benefits of telepsychiatry in skilled nursing and long-term care. These include better access to clinical specialists among under-resourced facilities, simpler integration into clinical workflows, and significant improvements for residents in LTC facilities, many of whom have coexisting chronic disease and behavioral health needs.
Telemedicine has enabled major improvements in care delivery, helping staff-constrained providers gain practical, coordinated support from clinical professionals. Telepsychiatry, in particular, has demonstrated almost identical outcomes compared to in-office visits, making it ideal for LTC settings.
