A resident looking for help with food, housing, health care or employment doesn't care which agency owns the program — they just need to find the right support. But inside government, the information needed to help that person often lives across different agencies, programs and technology systems, making it difficult to coordinate services or even know whether a referral led to assistance.

What if those systems could work together without agencies having to change the technology their teams already rely on?

Join Government Technology for a practical conversation about creating a more connected approach to social care. We'll explore how state and local governments can link data and workflows across agencies and community partners, giving teams a more complete view of a resident's needs and history while allowing existing systems to remain in place. The discussion will also examine how a shared coordination layer can help agencies follow referrals, see whether people actually received services and make social care data more useful across government.

Why attend:

  • See how a shared social care record can give authorized teams a more complete picture of a resident's interactions
  • Learn how an interoperable platform approach can connect existing case management and agency technology 
  • Explore how stronger coordination can help agencies track resident outcomes
