Salaam asks about missed appointment causes and Bellevue's 81% rate
Council Member Yusef Salaam asks how much of the 40% unseen mental health appointment rate is refusal, officer non-production, or lock-ins, and asks about Bellevue's rate. Boyd says he lacks granular data but can follow up on missed appointments.
Thank you, Chair.
Just a few questions.
About 40% of scheduled mental health appointments go unseen.
How much of that is refusal?
How much is officers not bringing people to the clinic?
How much is lock-ins?
And what explains the gap with Bellevue's early 81% rate?
Which point in time are you referring to, Councilmember?
Which point in time?
I guess since the open?
Specific to Bellevue Hospital, the OTXB?
The prison, yes.
I don't have that granular data, but we can certainly follow up on any missed medical appointments.
I don't know if there's anything else you want to add, but I mean, I don't know if you visited, but, you know, it's the whole kind of intent of this space is to make sure that there are direct access to services, which is on site on the second floor.
But however, we can follow up on that data in a follow up.
No, I appreciate that.
