I-CARE NETWORK (INTEGRATING CARE NETWORK) - River Edge Behavioral Health Center (River Edge) in partnership with Gwinnett, Rockdale and Newton Community Services Board (GRN) with the support of the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities have developed the I-Care Network which utilizes innovative technology to expand and enhance the ability of these providers to effectively communicate with individuals in substance abuse treatment and community partners, and to create access for the individuals served to track and manage their own wellness and recovery. This will be accomplished through the following goals: Goal 1: To enhance and expand current technology of partnering organizations that improves capacity, service delivery and use of evidence-based practices to underserved individuals with substance abuse disorders. Goal 2: To fully integrate appropriate technologies into the behavioral healthcare services provided by treatment and support service staff and partners. Goal 3: To develop and implement a sustainability plan that appropriately identifies and evaluates state and federal Health IT Initiatives. 400 individuals will be served per year (1,200 individuals over 3 years). The purpose of the I-Care Network is to advance service delivery and adapt to changes in the behavioral healthcare environment through leveraging modern technological evolution that enhances the content, access, and social service support to clients.
