Dallas Metro Case Study

Crisis Response Challenge

The North Texas Behavioral Health Authority tasked HarrisLogic with developing a model to provide hotline and mobile crisis response services to the 4th largest city in America, servicing almost 4 million residents spread across more than 5,500 square miles. HarrisLogic identified and worked through challenges such as limited resources, ensuring a timely response, coordinating the activities of multiple stakeholders, and demonstrating cost savings and improving care.

Stella’s decision support tools enable efficient and effective level of care determinations, so that patients can be treated in the least restrictive setting. As crises are resolved, Stella automates warm handoffs, continuity of care, and patient follow-up.
