Technology Solutions to Address one of the World’s Continued Taboo Ailments: Mental Health
Abstract
Shame, stigma, fear, and uninformed; these are just some of the words to describe the challenges of addressing an ailment (mental health) that The World Health Organization estimates affect nearly 450 million people around the globe. Representing 12 to 14% of the world’s burden of disease but having less than 4% of the global health budget , what practical solutions are C-Suite executives deploying in their ecosystems to fix the calculus? In this Q&A, Dr. Nicoletta Tessler, SVP/CEO of Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital (one of the largest and most comprehensive public-academic psychiatric programs in the United States), explains the strategic levers that she and her team have leveraged in Miami- Dade, Florida and which might be considered by others who are burdened with limited resources.
