Show Notes
Telehealth is no longer optional, especially in mental health care.
In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, Rosa Hart talks with Andy Flanagan, CEO of Iris Telehealth, about how telepsychiatry is expanding access to mental health care in underserved and rural communities.
They explore the critical role of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), the growing demand for behavioral health services within Medicaid populations, and why continuity of care remains one of healthcare’s biggest challenges. Andy also shares insight into government efforts to improve access, the need for better medical record integration for first responders, and why telehealth must be treated as standard care—not a backup plan.
This episode is a must-listen for nurses, clinicians, and healthcare leaders navigating the evolving mental health landscape.
