GETTYSBURG, PA, PA., June 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Individuals regularly move between hospital and community-based treatment, yet there is little to no electronic data exchange between provider organizations. We know that needs to change, but the communication barriers between disparate electronic health record systems seem insurmountable.
Hear how Henderson Behavioral Health, a behavioral health organization, is successfully overcoming these communication barriers and connecting with an acute care provider to share individuals' data with the purpose of creating better outcomes, during this OPEN MINDS and Netsmart special online event, "Coordinating Care To Improve Outcomes & Reduce Costs: Integrating With Acute Care Hospitals As A First Step" on July 10 at 1:00 PM EDT. Join Dr. Steven Ronik, Chief Executive Officer at Henderson Behavioral Health and Kevin Scalia, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Netsmart as they discuss how Henderson Behavioral Health is meaningfully exchanging health information in a first-of-a-kind collaboration with Memorial Healthcare System, an acute care hospital that uses Epic software.
During this special online case study, learn how the clinical interoperability and bidirectional communication between the two organizations facilitates efficient transition and coordination of care, resulting in improved services for consumers and significant time savings for staff.
During this 90- minute executive development session attendees will:
- Get up to speed on industry trends shifting integration from suggested to mandatory
- Hear a case study from Henderson Behavioral Health on why they believe the time is now for integrating with acute care providers
- Get advice on how to identify your 'trading partners' and how to initiate the dialogue
