Revolutionizing Mental Health Care: How Prop 1 and AI are Changing the Game in California

In March 2024, California voters approved Proposition 1, a landmark initiative to expand and modernize the state’s mental health infrastructure. Backed by over $6 billion in bond funding, the measure will support the development of new psychiatric treatment facilities and increase capacity for both inpatient and outpatient mental health care. Today, patients in psychiatric crisis often board for extended periods in emergency departments, placing significant strain on hospital resources, staff, and throughput. WellPlaced was built on a simple, powerful principle: Faster Transfers, Better Care. Our AI-driven platform streamlines the psychiatric transfer process—accelerating placement, unlocking revenue for facilities, and most importantly, allowing clinical teams to focus on delivering quality care.
