Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services will hold webinars to introduce stakeholders to its “RISE PA” program and that program’s new vendor, “Aunt Bertha.”

RISE PA” – “RISE” is short for “Resource Information and Services Enterprise” – is, according to DHS, a “…collaborative effort between multiple state agencies, counties, and local non-profits and community organizations, health care, and social services providers” that will “…serve as an access point to search and obtain meaningful information to help Pennsylvanians find and access the services they need to achieve overall well-being and improve health outcomes” while serving as a “…care coordination system for providers…and a closed-loop referral system that will report on the outcome of referrals.”

DHS is introducing stakeholders to RISE PA through webinars later this month that will be held on a regional basis according to HealthChoices regions.  Those interested in participating must register.  Go here for further information about RISE PA and the webinars.
