Through its Whole Person Care (WPC) program, Riverside County, Calif., is using data analytics to help keep probationers off the streets and out of the emergency room.
When prisoners are released from incarceration, they visit with a probation officer and a nurse, who screen them for substance abuse, physical and behavioral health as well as social services and housing needs. The nurse then makes referrals based on those needs, and the county tracks how well those interventions work at keeping probationers healthy and sheltered. The program, led by the Riverside University Health System (RUHS), has screened almost 12,000 people since it started in October 2017.
