COVID-19 has and continues to impact healthcare across the country, especially for public sector organizations.

  • 68% of all state mental health agencies experienced workforce shortages
  • Telephone encounters increased by 365%
  • Broadband access replaced transportation as the primary obstacle to care
In this episode of Netsmart CareThreads, Carol Reynolds, executive strategist for public sector at Netsmart, talked with Netsmart virtual CIO Danielle Ross and vice president of revenue cycle management operations Erica Gregory.
 
Here's what was discussed in the episode:
  • How recent data is shifting operations
  • The biggest operational challenges for public sector organizations
  • Top operations management advice for strategic planning and creating operational health in your organization

This discussion with Carol Reynolds, Erica Gregory, and Danielle Ross was taken from our show Netsmart Care Threads.
