Severe Mental Illness Related Emergency Department Visits

City/Place: Hayward
Measurement Period: 2016-2018
This indicator shows the number of severe mental illness related hospitalizations per 100,000 population. 

Why is this important?

Severe mental illness emergency department visits are linked to mental disorders that are chronic and severe. Hospitalization rates for racial/ethnic minorities may be disproprotionately high due to barriers in obtaining proper diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental illness. Barriers include stigma, limited English proficiency, cultural understanding of health care services, lack of transportation, fragmented services, cost, co-morbidity of mental health and other chronic diseases, and incarceration. These barriers may lead to exacerbations of mental illnesses and their symptoms such as depression, which may result in more hospitalizations.
