Description
Sonoma County government agencies employed advanced health information technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and inter-agency process improvements to transform health and healthcare for socially disadvantaged groups and other displaced individuals. This unique application of innovative care-management tools, which created a bridge between social and clinical determinants of health, helped 77 individuals who were at risk and experiencing a crisis through coordinated care plans and access to services in their time of need.
Learning Objective: 1. To examine how new AI and advanced health information technologies might be transformative in delivering a rapid response system in the event of a natural disaster such as a wildfire
2. To describe the direction of AI and advanced health information technologies for multi-disciplinary, intra-departmental (e.g. case workers, substance abuse counselors, eligibility workers) care coordination and management of homeless or precariously housed individuals in shelters
