Stephanie Gilliam, MN, RN, director of Mission Control at OHSU, left, and Rachel Adair, MSN, RN, assistant director of the transfer center at OHSU, discuss data on the new Oregon Behavioral Health Coordination Center dashboard. The tool allows mental health care providers in the Portland region to see behavioral health bed capacity in real time—urgently needed amid limited inpatient resources and increasing need for both adult and pediatric patients. Ultimately, OHSU and partners aim to fund dedicated OBCC staff who will assist in coordinating placement of both adult and pediatric patients. (OHSU/Christine Torres Hicks)
