Lichti and Sass will discuss how SUS implemented the VirtualHealth platform, the first truly comprehensive SaaS solution purpose-built for value-based care, to effectively improve care by providing a 360-degree view of its developmentally disabled patient population, as well as to track behavior, appointments, medications, hospitalizations, life skills developments and transitions between care environments.

"We are looking forward to sharing our story with forum attendees and to demonstrating how the VirtualHealth platform actualized our vision to promote healthier communities through innovative solutions and services."
