OVERLAND PARK, Kan., April 9, 2025 — The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, a leader in non-profit addiction and behavioral health treatment for 75 years, has selected Netsmart to help streamline its documentation, target efficiencies through meaningful augmented intelligence (AI) and further digitize its enterprise across the organization. The Netsmart platform will assist Hazelden Betty Ford’s staff in delivering high-quality, evidence-based care, while enhancing interoperability and improving operational processes.
“We selected a behavioral health technology provider whose associates understand our strategic direction and can accelerate collaboration with the broader behavioral health community,” said Dr. Joseph Lee, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation President and CEO. “We hope to focus not only on using new, cutting-edge solutions and services to support individuals experiencing substance use and mental health conditions but also on participating in a network for mutual learning and contribution. We hope this collaboration gives us the opportunity to deliver even more effective care while building resources to train the next generation of addiction treatment counselors, clinicians and staff members.”
While evaluating electronic health record (EHR) solutions, Hazelden Betty Ford prioritized collaboration with an organization that shares its commitment to behavioral health, ultimately choosing Netsmart for its experience with addiction treatment and mental health services.
