Background
Half of people facing a mental health condition never get help due to stigma, lack of access, and the cost of getting care. When Sofia experiences a behavioral health event and needs medical intervention, she often presents in an ED for support.
SilverCloud’s adult behavioral health platform uses Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to educate patients on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as symptom-reducing positive changes so they can better manage their mental health and wellbeing. With SilverCloud, more people get faster access to digital programs that are proven to help them manage their mental health, reduce symptoms, and feel better.
Overview
Banner Health Care Providers are encouraged to prescribe the SilverCloud app to eligible patients through Cerner. Patients sign-up through email, complete clinically validated assessments, set goals, and get matched to appropriate programs for on-demand mental health and wellbeing support.
Providers can review Sofia's progress through the monitor view on Sofia's chart in Cerner. Sofia will be assigned a SilverCloud coach who will do asynchronous reviews.
There is no cost, and insurance type doesn’t matter.
