About This Event
Care managers are often the last line of defense — but only if they know who needs them, and when. The challenge isn’t a lack of data; it’s that critical clinical events get buried in it.
This panel brings together perspectives from analytics, operations, and care management to explore how a configurable, severity-tiered clinical alerts engine can bridge the gap between raw data and real-world action. Panelists will discuss how real-time ADT feeds and claims and pharmacy data can be used to surface the moments that demand immediate response — and how those signals get translated into workflows that care managers can actually act on.
Attendees will walk away with a practical understanding of how to structure clinical alerts across behavioral health, pharmacy, and SDOH domains; how to configure severity tiers to match program needs; and — critically — how the technical architecture connects to the operational and clinical realities of the teams using it every day.
