Automation: The Future of Technology in Human Services

Presenter: Netsmart CEO Mike Valentine

The word “automation” may sound impersonal; however, it’s actually the most human advancement in human services technology today. In this presentation, we’ll look at how automation is  driving improvements in clinical care, operations and data management. More importantly, we’ll see how it’s improving care outcomes and changing lives. From a clinical perspective, artificial  intelligence (AI) has endless possibilities as augmented clinical intelligence. We’ll discuss how this technology is improving patient care, enhancing clinical workflow, and promoting quality while optimizing  resources. For example, automation allows for remote patient monitoring through wearables––something common in physical health but new to behavioral healthcare.
