OpenBeds

Nebraska Division of Behavioral Health has been working with Bamboo Health's OpenBeds® platform that will identify, unify, and track all mental health and substance use disorder inpatient and outpatient treatment resources in a single, common network, available 24/7. This HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based solution:

  • replaces inefficient manual tracking, search, communication, and reporting functions;
  • facilitates rapid referrals and feedback; and
  • fosters collaboration and coordination among hospitals, primary care, behavioral health, law enforcement, courts, crisis systems and other community service organizations.

​Nebraska's implementation will occur in phases. Lear​n more.​
