What is the “missing population” and why should you care about it? If you’re managing an ACO, health home, or integrated care organization where value-based contracts are top of mind, you need to know about one of the highest cost, most underserved populations in healthcare: people with behavioral health disorders. Integrating acute care and behavioral health services is critical to improving overall health outcomes in a population where the severely mentally ill die 25 years earlier than the general population, and co-morbid physical and mental health illnesses drastically drive up Medicaid and other loss ratios.
Netsmart is the leader in clinical coordinated care technology for behavioral health and the larger health and human services provider communities, and the ideal partner to help you link your primary care initiatives with broader, coordinated care for the body and the mind.
Netsmart was selected to participate in the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase and with Epic will demonstrate the integration and care coordination of physical health and behavioral health.
Also visit us in booth 3952 to see how Netsmart CareManager seamless integrates clinical data between two or more organizations to efficiently and safely coordinate care delivery.

Oh yeah, we’ve got “BIG” data. And better yet, it’s accurate, unbiased and collected without data entry.
Our real-time locating system (RTLS) is the most-deployed for patient flow and process improvement, producing analytics that are hard to capture in any other way.
See it in action at our new Experience Center — a live, real-time demonstration — and learn why Versus is the only RTLS accurate enough to automate workflows and effectively monitor hand hygiene. Be one of the first to see our new mix-and-match RTLS platforms, offering interchangeable wi-fi, wireless, and wired options, all featuring the same infrared accuracy Versus is known for.
The new platforms work with the same badges and tags, including two new options: the Mini Asset Tag, the smallest available on the active RTLS market, and our waterproof, wearable Patient Wrist Badge.
And back to that “BIG” data, we’re also unveiling version 5.0 of our advanced reporting software, Reports Plus Analytics. This major upgrade features several new reports developed hand-in-hand with healthcare administrators and clinicians, offering unprecedented insight into facility workflows. Proven software, proven solutions, and multiple platforms including both wireless and wi-fi options — there’s never been a better time to invest in RTLS. To reduce HAIs (HIMSS-acquired infections), look for the SafeHaven hand hygiene dispensers throughout the convention center.

Hopefully not a foreshadowing of things to come: I received an email from my HIMSS hotel confirming my stay. Unfortunately the reservation appears to be in the name of Chad Somebody. While I am sure Chad is a lovely person, spending a few nights in a hotel together is not my idea of an appropriate first date. The HIMSS reservation service told me to check directly with the hotel. The hotel tells me there is not a reservation in my name, just in my new friend’s name with my confirmation number. Really, who has time for figuring out such nonsense? Chad: if you are reading this, feel free to drop me a note so maybe we can have a Skype date before heading to Orlando. 
On Monday we posted our rundown on the many free treasures you can collect while cruising the exhibit hall. I plan to schedule my day around the best offerings, starting with coffee at First Databank (1965); a cake pop from PerfectServe (5293); registration for a few high-tech goodies like an iPad from Santa Rosa Consulting (5689), a Fitbit from GetWellNetwork (2219) or one of several other vendors, or a tablet from Versus Technology (3673); freshly baked cookies from T-System (2071); bottled water from CTG Health Solutions (944); and afternoon cocktails at RelayHealth (1665) and Vital Images (1677). I am leaving out details on a couple of dozen other great giveaways but be assured I will do my best to sample all the hospitality the exhibit hall has to offer.
