Welcome to the Voices of Care Podcast, a short series dedicated to exploring how technology and advocacy shape community-based care. This introductory episode sets the stage for thoughtful conversations about the history, lessons and future of integrated health systems.

Kevin Scalia, a long-time advocate for community-based care and Netsmart leader, opens the series with a look back at the evolution of the electronic health record (EHR), the policy and advocacy that fueled progress and the partnerships that made interoperability possible. Kevin discusses the podcast’s purpose, the decisions that shaped today’s Netsmart CareFabric® platform and where technology can move us next to improve coordination, quality and outcomes.

Tune in to future episodes where we’ll have special guests join us for the discussion to learn from past successes and explore practical steps we can take together to build a more connected, person-centered healthcare system.
