Buzz continued surrounding the launch of the post-acute platform, myUnity™, as attendees were able to see a full demonstration of the solution firsthand. Most of the excitement centered on how easy it was for clinicians to use while still being able to meet the unique needs of home care, hospice, senior living and skilled nursing environments..@PetrizzoTom discusses how @NetsmartTech #KPI dashboards help @TriCountyMHS track clinical and operational data to improve client care and meet #CCBHC reporting requirements #CONN18 #ntst pic.twitter.com/QKSTPo6iLW

A session devoted to the current opioid crisis also gained a lot of attention. Netsmart clients explored what efforts were currently used to combat the epidemic and further discussed what approaches were more successful than others.
The Solutionarium continued to be the perfect place for clients to check out and learn about all the latest on solutions and services.
The evening concluded at a fantastic event at fantastic Corona Ranch where clients and attendees could unwind and have fun! Entertainment included a rockin’ band, a live rodeo and hot air balloon rides gave attendees the chance to truly take in the beauty of the southwest among breathtaking surroundings.

Historically, EHRs weren’t designed to improve care. Instead, much of their focus was on solving non-clinical problems, like how to bill for services or provide management reports.

This can benefit your workforce at all levels and functions –– saving time, preventing burnout and increasing job satisfaction.
