October 2019
On Thursday, October 10, 2019, at 2:00 PM EDT, the Stepping Up Initiative and the Data-Driven Justice Initiative will host a 75-minute webinar entitled, "Using and Sharing Data Across Health, Human Services, and Justice Systems to Improve Responses for People Who Have Mental Illnesses."
Counties across the country are building collaborative partnerships to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in their jails. Despite the progress that counties have made, they still face challenges with sharing information across multiple systems, limiting their success in identifying people involved in these systems, coordinating services and supervision, and tracking the impact of their efforts. This two-part webinar series will offer tips on managing data and information sharing for people who frequently cycle in and out of emergency rooms, shelters, and jails. The first webinar will focus on the collection, management, and sharing of data and will address primary challenges counties often face in these efforts. Participants will hear from subject matter experts and counties that have implemented processes to collect, share, integrate, and analyze data on people involved in multiple county systems.
