In the consulting industry, each situation is unique and requires a specific set of solutions. For Carlton County, Minnesota - 35,000 lives needed to be covered by an Admission, Discharge and Transfer System. Using a grant, we secured the funding, designed the concept, solicited and won multi-stakeholder buy-in, chose a technology partner and implemented a cross-sector information network to transmit health information to care teams. Partners included rural clinics (3), critical access hospitals (2), Indian Health Service, mental health, public health and the county, long term care (2) and nursing home (1).
