Tom Herzog, chief operating officer of Netsmart, says that \u201cdigitization has always been about entering data into the system\u201d and that users are asking, \u201cWhat does the system do for me?\u201d It\u2019s time to \u201caggregate\u201d that data and get a million \u201csecond opinions.\u201d\n\nMatthew Arnheiter, senior vice president of innovations, described Netsmart\u2019s project with the Missouri Behavioral Health Council (MBHC) to use predictive analytics and identify people at risk of suicide. Their AI system ingested data across the \u201csilos\u201d of more than 30 behavioral health providers and other sources, such as death certificates of those who took their own lives. Using this data, clinicians could hook up with people in the ER and make sure they had a primary care provider to return to. The results were not only fewer ER visits, but more access to care.\n\nLearn more about Netsmart: https://www.ntst.com/\nHealth IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
