Through the OCBH Preferred Partners Program, members will be able to access over 60 solutions and services from the Netsmart CareFabric platform.

This strategy aims to optimise processes, support staff, and simplify reimbursement procedures. The AI-driven clinical coach Bells is one such innovation that reduces administrative burdens by enhancing documentation through ambient listening, suggested note generation, and near real-time transcription. Other AI solutions encompass AlphaCollector, which employs robotic process automation and its digital accompaniment Benny to assist collections staff in engaging clients, thereby streamlining the billing process. These certified healthcare IT solutions are now the preferred technology offerings for over 70 OCBH member organisations, all committed to improving care coordination.

Together, we can address barriers to treatment for those with addiction and mental health challenges, while continuing to work toward expanding access to care.'
