Erin Quinlan, a behavioral specialist at a Rogers Behavioral Health facility in Madison, Wisconsin, said that since Rogers began using Limbic, she has noticed many patients placed in an inappropriate level or type of care, including a recently admitted patient who was a 'very severe suicidal risk' requiring inpatient care but instead admitted into intensive outpatient care. [^4]

Kaiser therapist Ilana Marcucci-Morris, who works in Oakland, said that patients are now routed through an app, nonclinical call center staff, or a phone number instead of being referred directly by primary care doctors, putting the burden on patients to coordinate their own care. [^5]
