Idaho Psychiatric Bed and Seat Registry

The Idaho Psychiatric Bed and Seat Registry (IPBSR) is an online platform specifically designed to show end users the number, availability, and demographic of those psychiatric beds and crisis seats across Idaho.

The registry launched in January 2020 and is for mental health professionals, medical professionals, and first responders who are aiding Idahoans in locating psychiatric inpatient treatment or crisis stabilization.

The registry is an online platform that can be accessed by a computer or a mobile device 24/7 365 days a year.
