Familiar Faces Initiative Data-Sharing Technology for Behavioral Health and Justice Learning Series: Netsmart

This webinar is available on-demand. If you have trouble accessing the recording, please email nacomeetings@naco.org.
Join NACo and the Familiar Faces Initiative (FFI) for a series of webinars highlighting new technologies that share and integrate data across local behavioral health, health and justice systems. Cross-system data-sharing enables jurisdictions to identify their familiar faces—residents who are cycling through jail, emergency departments, homeless shelters or other crisis services at a high frequency—and better coordinate care to improve outcomes for the highest-needs residents.
Netsmart will provide a first-hand look at how their proven care coordination solutions have been used to support a holistic approach when working with multiple disparate systems and organizations to provide a more person-centered, integrated care network. With the right technology, your organization can manage care and services across the continuum, ensuring the right information is available at the right time to the right providers.
In this series, NACo partners will:
- provide a short demonstration of their platform,
- outline its capabilities and potential outcomes,
- share an example of a county they’ve worked with and
- host a question-and-answer session with attendees.
County officials and leaders are encouraged to join and learn about available technologies to assist in sharing data and coordinating care across systems.
