Justice Involved™
Increasing Diversion by Connecting Individuals to Behavioral Health Treatment
Bamboo Health’s Justice Involved™ solution sends real-time alerts when an individual has an encounter with law enforcement or is incarcerated, helping coordinate care and treatment referrals.
Enhance Interoperability and Timely Care for Justice-Involved Individuals
Today, there are nearly two million justice-involved individuals in U.S, with these individuals facing three times the rate of mental illness on average. Over 65% of these individuals also meet medical criteria for experiencing substance use disorder, while only 11% receive treatment.
Bamboo Health’s Justice Involved solution bridges this critical gap by seamlessly connecting health plans, state governments and providers to justice systems. With streamlined alert reporting and real-time booking and release data, individuals receive continuous care and timely assessment of treatment needs. States using Section 1115 waivers to provide expanded Medicaid eligibility for justice-involved individuals can leverage Justice Involved to divert more individuals from incarceration into appropriate care settings.
Key Benefits
Maintain Consistent Care for Justice-Involved Individuals
Healthcare organizations can better connect with jail and prison systems using Justice Involved, which provides access to booking and release data. This information helps manage care events and offers more opportunities to assess an individual’s treatment needs.
Leverage Real-Time Alerts to Increase Treatment Referrals
Justice Involved connects to nearly all jails and prisons in the U.S. and can alert managed care organizations (MCOs), Medicaid, state administrators, providers and other stakeholders when individuals’ incarceration periods begin and end. By capturing essential incarceration event information, stakeholders can more quickly evaluate an individual’s need for mental health or substance use disorder treatment in near real-time. This ability to more quickly identify the highest-risk individuals fuels improved outcomes and cost savings for providers, reducing the impact of traditionally high rates of substance use disorder and comorbidities among this population.
Connect Individuals to Care and Increase Care Quality
Booking and incarceration alerts offer various coordinated care options, such as treatment referrals, and engage with individuals who may be at high risk for re-entering the justice system. Such alerts help by referring individuals in need of care to the appropriate treatment. Given that many of these individuals are eligible for Medicaid, state Medicaid programs can intervene during pivotal moments improving the quality of care.
Our Impact
With Justice Involved, organizations can leverage Bamboo Health’s real-time bed monitoring system to connect to nearly all jails and prisons in the U.S. and be alerted when an individual’s incarceration stay begins and ends for improved follow-up care.
