    • Presentation Overview: With the advent of value-based care, there is a renewed attention to patients with concomitant psychiatric and medical needs, who are some of the highest utilizers of the medical system. Integrated Med-Psych units (MPUs), also known as complexity intervention units (CIUs), have been shown to reduce costs, decrease lengths of stay, and reduce readmissions, yet MPUs are still relatively unknown. In fact, there is little information available on how many MPUs exist in the United States. At the 2019 AMP meeting, a new Med-Psych Unit special interest group was convened and a consortium of MPUs was developed in order to share data on processes and outcomes. This symposium will include 4 presentations that will cover: 
    • Med-Psych Units in the US, Where Have We Been? - Roger Kathol, MD
    • Med-Psych Units in the US, What Do We Know? - Ashley Ellison, MD
