GETTYSBURG, Pa., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 25th, 2022 at 1:00 pm ET, OPEN MINDS will host a webinar, Integrated Care:  Strategies That Work, courtesy of Netsmart.  This event will showcase how to truly implement and succeed with integrated care with a focus on operationalizing integrated care delivery and utilizing technology infrastructure to streamline the effort.

Providers, health plans and government agencies all recognize the benefits of integrated care. However, the operationalization of integrated care is not easy. Many organizations are challenged to deliver integrated care in a way that addresses the needs of individuals they serve and in a manner that supports the natural work processes of the clinical team.  Join us on May 25th at 1:00 PM ET for an interactive panel discussion on how to operationalize integrated care through process and technology.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

1. How technology enables integrated care by supporting collaboration and information exchange across providers
2. Strategies for increasing efficiency and enhancing staff satisfaction
3. The processes and partnerships that must be created to succeed in integrated care
4. How consumers and patients benefit from integrated care ? and the issues that arise without it

Join us to hear from a panel of experts in integrated care delivery from across the care continuum.

You'll hear perspectives from both human services and post-acute providers. The panel will be moderated by AJ Peterson, VP and GM of CareGuidance Solutions at Netsmart.
