Netsmart, a leading provider of healthcare technology solutions for human services, post-acute and specialty practices providers, announces the groundbreaking achievements and pivotal milestones of the CareFabric^® platform at the 16^th annual CONNECTIONS2023 (CONN23) conference in Washington, D.C. This year's conference marks a momentous occasion as Netsmart celebrates the remarkable impact of the CareFabric, a platform that has revolutionized the delivery of care and transformed the lives of 133 million individuals.

The event kicked off with an opening keynote from Netsmart CEO Mike Valentine and a collective of client partners and Netsmart leadership discussing the evolution of the CareFabric platform and long-view strategy. With the strategy being launched 12 years ago, the CareFabric has emerged as a pioneering platform, empowering care providers to deliver comprehensive, person-centered care with unmatched efficiency and quality. Driven by a commitment to innovation, Netsmart has continually enhanced the capabilities of the CareFabric to address the evolving needs of the healthcare providers they serve. Valentine stated, “Together, we reached an annualized run rate of 21 billion application-to-application interactions across the CareFabric platform in March of this year – no other solutions in the community-based provider market are even close to achieving that.”

“There is true value in coming together at CONNECTIONS to reflect on our transformation over the past several years and look to see how we can continue driving this change forward,” said Valentine. “By working hand in hand with our clients, we have made significant advancements to meet the needs of the workforce shortage and embrace value-based care models by accelerating innovations of our CareFabric platform. We believe that a fully-digitized enterprise is crucial for delivering integrated, connected care and our enhanced platform capabilities have made that possible. Let's continue to make history together!"

Clients utilizing the CareFabric platform are leveraging an average of seven distinct solutions within the ecosystem. This versatility enables care providers to customize their solutions and optimize workflows, catering to the unique needs of different care settings.
