Acuity Behavioral Health focuses on developing technology in the behavioral health space, utilizing proprietary algorithms for scalable healthcare services. Their main product, the Behavioral Health Acuity Index (BHAI), acts as a patient classification system for clinical operations, particularly in inpatient psychiatry. It quantitatively measures patient acuity on a scale from 1 to 100, integrating data from nursing staff, demography, and clinical observations to enhance patient care, improve safety, boost nurse retention, manage operations, reduce readmissions, and facilitate payor negotiations for reimbursement. Notable institutions, such as Yale New Haven Hospital, are adopting the system.
