Abstract
The boarding of Psychiatric Emergency Department patients continues to be a crisis across our country. As healthcare leaders navigate the challenges of COVID ‐19 there is an amplified urgency for novel solutions to this complex problem. Congested waiting rooms and hallways, the unfortunate byproduct of boarding, result in emergency departments becoming a potential focal point for disease transmission. Given the financial losses that many health care institutions have incurred due to the pandemic, understanding the fiscal implications of any intervention is paramount.
