Crisis & Behavioral Health

Resgrid for Crisis & Mental Health Response

Dispatch mobile crisis teams, see every team on one map, staff 24/7 coverage with clinicians and peer specialists, and send each encounter back to your EHR — with the privacy controls behavioral health data demands.

Free for up to 10 users & units • No contracts • Set up in about 15 minutes

Mobile crisis programs outgrow group texts fast

988 centers, county behavioral health departments, CCBHCs, and co-responder programs are standing up mobile teams quickly — usually on tools never built for dispatch or for protected health information.

The hand-off is the weak link

A call arrives through 988, 911, or a warm line, then a coordinator texts or phones a team. Nobody can see which teams are free, where they are, or how long the person in crisis has been waiting.

Sensitive details in the wrong places

Names, diagnoses, and substance use details end up in personal group texts, shared inboxes, and lock-screen notifications — exactly where HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 say they shouldn't be.

Response times rebuilt by hand

Funders, Medicaid programs, and county contracts want dispatch-to-arrival times and dispositions. Coordinators reconstruct them from call logs at the end of every month.

Documenting everything twice

Clinicians write up the encounter in the field, then someone re-keys it into the EHR. Every re-key is time off the road and another chance for a transcription error.

How Resgrid supports your crisis program

A dispatch and field platform for teams that respond with clinicians instead of lights and sirens — built to work alongside your EHR, not replace it.

Crisis dispatch console

Create calls with your own call types, priorities, locations, and notes, then alert the right team by push, SMS, email, or voice. Every call is timestamped from receipt to cleared.

Live team locations & statuses

Custom statuses fit your model — En Route, On Scene, With Client, Transporting, Cleared — and coordinators see every team on one map to send the closest one.

Teams staffed the way you respond

Unit roles define the seats on each team — licensed clinician, peer support specialist, EMT, or co-responding officer — so coordinators know exactly who is riding together.

24/7 coverage scheduling

Build rotating shifts, fill open slots through in-app pickup, and alert only the teams on shift. Staffing levels show who is available right now.

Licensure & training tracking

Track clinician licenses, peer certifications, CIT, naloxone, and de-escalation training with expiration dates, so a lapse shows up weeks early instead of during an audit.

Response-time reporting

Per-team call times from dispatch to on scene to cleared are captured from status changes, with call volumes by type and exports for county, payer, and grant reporting.

Advanced Data Protection

Built for behavioral health data

Crisis calls carry some of the most sensitive information a health program handles. With the Advanced Data Protection add-on, Resgrid encrypts it field by field, keeps it off lock screens, and releases it only where you approve.

Field-level encryption, your own key

Call nature, notes, narratives, attachments, contact details, and custom fields are encrypted with AES-256-GCM under a key that belongs to your organization before they are stored.

MFA before anyone reads client details

Revealing protected fields requires a fresh multi-factor check and a short-lived grant. A stolen password or session on its own is not enough.

Nothing sensitive on a lock screen

Push, SMS, email, and voice alerts default to a generic sign-in notice, so a client's name and situation never show on a phone's lock screen or in a carrier's message log.

Safe hub wall displays

BigBoard shows only the call number, priority, status, and assigned team — never the narrative or a precise location — so a dashboard on the wall doesn't expose anyone.

42 CFR Part 2 aware releases

Tag custom fields as Restricted or 42 CFR Part 2. Part 2 fields are only released to your EHR when the call is marked consent on file; otherwise the send is blocked and logged.

Business Associate Agreement

Resgrid signs a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement with organizations that have Advanced Data Protection enabled on their department.

From crisis call to EHR encounter, without re-keying

  1. 1

    Call received

    A call is created with the client's EHR identifier stored on it, encrypted.

  2. 2

    Team dispatched

    The closest available team is alerted, and each status change is timestamped.

  3. 3

    Outcome captured

    Disposition and structured findings are recorded in custom call fields.

  4. 4

    Call closed

    An approved Protected Workflow builds a FHIR R4 Encounter with Observations, or an HL7 v2 MDM message.

  5. 5

    EHR updated

    The EHR's encounter ID is saved encrypted on the call, and the release is recorded in a hash-chained disclosure log.

Advanced Data Protection is an optional add-on and a technical safeguard. On its own it is not HIPAA or 42 CFR Part 2 compliance, which also depends on your policies, configuration, agreements, and training. Resgrid is not an EHR or a 988 contact-center system.

Dispatch, not a 911 CAD contract

Most crisis programs don't need a full public-safety CAD. They need dispatch, location, scheduling, secure communications, and a clean hand-off to the EHR — in one system.

Protected Workflows: FHIR R4 & HL7 v2

Typical combined spend for a regional program: $4,000–$9,000+ per year in tools, plus the coordinator and clinician hours spent bridging them. Resgrid replaces the stack with public, entity-based pricing.

More time with clients, less time coordinating

Every minute a coordinator spends calling around for an available team, or a clinician spends re-keying notes, is a minute not spent on the person in crisis.

Time back

  • Coordinators send the closest available team from a live map instead of calling around
  • Dispatch-to-arrival times are captured automatically from team status changes
  • Encounters reach the EHR when the call closes instead of at the end of a shift
  • Open shifts fill through in-app pickup instead of late-night phone calls

Budget back

  • Dispatch, AVL, scheduling, and messaging in one subscription instead of four
  • No 911-grade CAD contract or per-seat enterprise license for a crisis program
  • Public, entity-based pricing; Advanced Data Protection is one yearly add-on per department
  • Open source and self-hostable if your county requires data on its own infrastructure

Savings estimates based on typical published pricing of scheduling, fleet tracking, and messaging tools; results vary by program size and current stack. Resgrid is a dispatch and operations platform, not an EHR, a crisis-line telephony system, or a bed registry.
