Netsmart Partners with Thriving Mind South Florida to Enable Whole-Person Care Coordination
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Dec. 08, 2020 — Thriving Mind South Florida selected Netsmart CareManager™ as the population health platform to improve payer and provider data sharing. The platform will also help facilitate efficient whole-person care coordination through behavioral health services, outcomes-based programs and incarceration prevention in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties.
Thriving Mind is supported by the Florida Department of Children and Families and other public and private sources. The network is one of seven safety net organizations in the state and serves more than 50,000 individuals. Thriving Mind oversees a variety of mental health and substance use disorder services to children and adults including crisis intervention, detoxication treatment, residential services, outpatient care, recovery support and prevention services.
Thriving Mind offers system-level care coordination to develop an effective treatment plan for high-need, high-utilizers of crisis services and other vulnerable individuals in an effort to prevent re-admission. To improve outcomes for individuals, the system identifies individuals who frequently utilize the healthcare system for a variety of services, forms a team to ensure appropriate treatment, tracks the individual’s progress across services and collects data to measure success. Data sharing by payer and provider from electronic health records (EHRs), hospitals and other sources, such as the Miami 211, can be integrated into the Netsmart CareManager platform for seamless support of individuals.
“Over the years, we have seen a reduction in 30-day readmission rates to crisis stabilization units and detox services in individuals who receive our care coordination,” said Thriving Mind President and CEO John W. Newcomer, M.D. “Together we can build a framework to establish quality programs and measure the success of outcomes-based care coordination.”
Thriving Mind’s most recent initiative, the Miami Center for Mental Health and Recovery, is set to open in late 2021. The 208-bed center will serve individuals with mental health and substance use disorders who can safely be diverted from the criminal justice system.
“Thriving Mind shares our vision of coordinating care by leveraging technology to make an impact on the communities they serve,” said Netsmart CEO Mike Valentine. “Supporting this work with Netsmart CareManager population health management platform and data sharing capabilities will only enhance their success and help them articulate the value these collaborations bring through data measurements.”
