Beds take up too much room so you can’t have as many.
This is true. Whether a bandaid or stitches, each bed requires 80SF minimum with 5ft clear between beds that results in closer to 100SF per bed. With current reno costs at $200/SF or new, ground-up costs @ $300+/SF...mental cases & people using the ER like primary care are the real problem. A lot of facilities are incorporating "fast track" areas for the band-aid tylenol crowd and mental-health ER depts (MHERs) to increase efficiency

This has actually gone down quite a bit in the data I work with every day. Which covers 10+ states and 150+ hospitals.
The acuity level of ER patients that are non-psych is slightly on the rise because of the surge of Urgent Care/Minute Clinic type settings.
But the psych patients are increasing more than enough to cover that.
Companies need to create separate psych facilities, but often times due to scale and capital, it is just not a possibility.
