The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, a leader in non-profit addiction and behavioral health treatment for 75 years, has selected Netsmart to help streamline its documentation, target efficiencies through meaningful augmented intelligence (AI) and further digitize its enterprise across the organization. The Netsmart platform will assist Hazelden Betty Ford’s staff in delivering high-quality, evidence-based care, while enhancing interoperability and improving operational processes.

“We selected a behavioral health technology provider whose associates understand our strategic direction and can accelerate collaboration with the broader behavioral health community,” said Dr. Joseph Lee, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation President and CEO. “We hope to focus not only on using new, cutting-edge solutions and services to support individuals experiencing substance use and mental health conditions but also on participating in a network for mutual learning and contribution. We hope this collaboration gives us the opportunity to deliver even more effective care while building resources to train the next generation of addiction treatment counselors, clinicians and staff members.”

They’ve earned a brand of quality in our industry, which is a testament to their innovation, patient-centered clinical excellence and values-based leadership,” said Netsmart CEO Mike Valentine. “Through collaboration and investment in an integrated platform approach, together, we have an incredible opportunity to take their care delivery to an even higher level.
