Informational Workshops

It is well documented that social needs are a barrier to health which creates addressable strain, costs and ongoing care delivery challenges. Everyday, we hear frustration from care teams (probation, parole, CDCR, etc.) that their Medi-Cal patients lack support and coordinated care post release resulting in readmissions, clinical complications and ultimately increased recidivism rates. Pair Team, a CPOC Probation Partner, is a unique provider organization dedicated to addressing these needs for our partners’ patients, at no cost to the organization.

In today’s world, Probation departments, as well as other corrections’ agencies, are affected by budget reductions, staff shortages and pressures to constantly do more. During this informational workshop Fieldware, a CPOC Probation Partner, specializing in comprehensive case management and remote check-in solutions, will include a review of the new American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) supervision standards and how technology strategies could enhance the profession.
