Case Study: Premier Psychiatric Group achieves statewide telepsychiatry access and improved patient care with LifeSize ClearSea (LifeSize)

Telepsychiatry Practice Utilizes LifeSize Video Solutions to Offer Exemplary Mental Health Care Treatment to Patients Statewide

Premier Psychiatric Group (Premier Psych), a Lincoln, Nebraska–based outpatient psychiatric practice with seven clinics serving Nebraska and neighboring states, faced limited access to mental health care in rural areas. After relying on the statewide telehealth network and encountering performance, scalability and reliability issues as demand grew, the organization chose to deploy its own video conferencing capability.

Premier Psych implemented LifeSize ClearSea (and recommended LifeSize Unity Series for office use), selecting HD, standards‑based, interoperable video to preserve lifelike clinician–patient interactions and connect with varied endpoints. The solution expanded reach across Nebraska (and into South Dakota and Iowa), reduced patient travel, enabled multi‑specialist consultations, improved convenience and satisfaction, and paved the way for future mobile access.
