Iowa braces for bed-track system to aid mentally ill crisis care
The Gazette notes long waits for psychiatric beds and a lack of real time bed status for mentally ill Iowans. A proposed disaster bed-tracking system could be adapted at about 120000 a year, with new setup costs around 200000. Branstad plans to add beds at Independence to offset closures at Mount Pleasant and Clarinda.
