Survey research says that 71% of Medicaid Patients have access to a cellphone. This is an important finding because it means that we can effectively use technology to connect with individuals that suffer from severe social determinants of health factors. In today’s episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Elise Kohl-Grant, the Chief Information Officer at Innovative Management Solutions NY (IMSNY). Elise oversees the implementation and utilization of a data analytics platform across two large behavioral health networks covering over 160,000 patients. Together, Graham and Elise discuss leveraging technology to better serve both patients and providers such as appointment reminders, access to medication information, scheduling appointments online, teletherapy, and the trends we see in digital health that is serving the mental health and community-based industry.
