Helping Hospitals Discharge Patients Faster
Our Care Coordination program reduces the administrative burden that hospitals experience when discharging behavioral health patients. It's a collaborative program identifying inpatient and outpatient behavioral health care to reduce emergency room overstays and hospital readmissions.
Care Coordination is a single access point for hospitals and community providers to connect, communicate, and act, getting patients the care they need faster.
Coordinated Care
From complex to routine cases, Maryland hospitals can leverage our technology and infrastructure to coordinate, monitor, and track cases.
With a large network of participating hospitals and state and local agencies, we facilitate care coordination across systems with representatives from health and human services agencies and even schools. The majority of referred patients are adolescents. Our comprehensive network of community support can help the patient today and tomorrow.

2025 Impact
Strong Partnerships Support Patients
We continue to expand and deepen our partnerships with a diverse network of hospitals and community providers.
As we strengthen partnerships, we align systems, enhance collaboration, and streamline care in the often fragmented health and human services ecosystem.
Most Referred Patients
Adolescents aged 13-17 years are referred most to the Care Coordination program. 65% of patients referred are under age 21.
Care Coordinator, Kia Greene, talks about one of those cases where she helped a youth get discharged from the hospital after 100 days.
