NYAPRS Note: Integration, engagement, prevention and wellness are the new “buzz” words of our health care system. But how do we create and sustain services that truly actualize these terms in a way that assists the people who access our services. This webinar will demonstrate how the use of technology can be critical to providing comprehensive person centered care through the involvement of community based organizations and electronic portals, patient portals and field based documentation. Join us as one of the leaders in our field discusses some of the latest advances in technology and electronic health records and helps us to explore how these tools advance care and services.
