Key Challenges:
- Disjointed Data Sources: Case workers and providers struggled with scattered data across platforms, slowing care delivery and limiting a unified view of each student’s journey.
- Manual Errors: Delays from manual entry disrupt smooth care delivery.
- Complex Coordination: Coordinating healthcare and non-healthcare support was cumbersome, often leading to miscommunication and delays in assigning resources.
- Tedious Billing: Manual claims drain time, reducing focus on direct care.
- Lack of Actionable Insights: Limited analytics made it tough to track program impact on attendance and academic performance, restricting data-sharing with LEAs and partner agencies.
- Cross-Agency Hurdles: Manual updates hinder collaboration with partner agencies like foster care, creating bottlenecks in multi-agency coordination.
