Modernizing Public Health: Why Government Needs a New Kind of Platform

This event qualifies for 1 CPEs

Public health and human services programs form the front line of community well-being yet they’ve been chronically underinvested in and technologically left behind. While hospitals and clinics have benefited from decades of EHR funding and modernization, outreach-based programs that operate in homes, schools, and neighborhoods still rely on outdated systems, spreadsheets, and paper forms.

Join this webinar to explore how a new generation of modern public health platforms are helping agencies close that gap. Persimmony CEO, James Greaves, will share how state and local departments are transforming field operations, improving reporting accuracy, and reducing administrative burden through modern, secure, and human-centered design. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of why modernization isn’t just an IT upgrade — it’s essential infrastructure for healthier, more equitable communities.

Specifically, attendees will learn:

Why public health programs have lagged behind in modernization, and how to change it
The seven key differences between clinical and public health systems
How modern case-management platforms unify enrollment, care coordination, and reporting
Real-world examples of modernization from counties and state programs
Practical steps to prepare for funding, implementation, and change management
