Cantata Health Solutions Anchors HIMSS Webinar on Integrated Care
Summary
The 90-minute conversation featured expert panelists from the public and private sectors who shared their perspectives and experiences with integrating care and what is happening on the ground. Panelist Dr. Jorge R Petit, CEO at Services for the UnderServed, said, “for me, integration is about breaking down the silos and the fragmentation that currently exists in our system, and to really think about how we create an integrated delivery service continuum that really meets the needs of individuals where they are at.” Alan Tillinghast shared Cantata’s experience of working collaboratively with behavioral health and acute care providers to address the challenges of providing coordinated, patient-centered care. “When somebody receives services at an Opioid Treatment Program, a mental health clinic, and primary care agency, these organizations must be talking to each other to deliver on the promise of whole patient care.” The webinar was well-received by participants and provided valuable insights into how to create successful models of care integration. Anthony M. Ferrante, President of the NYS Chapter of HIMSS, said, “we were thrilled to have Alan Tillinghast, CEO of Cantata Health Solutions, as a panelist on our webinar.
