The Idaho Psychiatric Bed and Seat Registry (IPBSR) is an online platform designed to show users the number, availability, and demographic of psychiatric beds and crisis seats across Idaho.
The registry, launched in January 2020, 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.
The IPBSR is designed to show the availability of psychiatric hospital beds and behavioral health crisis center seats across Idaho to assist in the referral process.
- Bed: an inpatient opening at a behavioral health or mental health inpatient unit/hospital
- Crisis seat: a resting place at a behavioral health crisis center
Availability is updated regularly by participating providers.
If you are medical professional, mental health professional, or first responder who would like access to the IPBSR Platform, email IPBSR@dhw.idaho.gov to get set up.
