System of Care Data Integration System (SOCDIS)

Employer: IBM Corporation, Santa Ana, California, USA

Client: Orange County, California, United States

Role: Technical Lead and Solutions Architect

Dates: March 2020 – Dec 2021

 

The SOCDIS project is intended to provide coordinated data sharing across County Departments and external stakeholders to aid the efforts of providing the needed services to the County residents, including, but not limited to, the high-utilizers of the System of Care (SOC). The SOCDIS strategy focuses on improving care for County-defined cohorts, such as homelessness, by better coordinating efforts of County Departments and other stakeholders which are providing them with services.

These service providers currently tend to work in functional silos. As a result, information about these County-defined cohorts is stored within Department systems and databases that are unique to the management of those programs and data and are not readily shareable across Departments and service providers. These systems contain valuable information regarding client eligibility, enrollment, status for receipt of public benefits, health care, criminal justice history and status, and housing related information. The integration of this information into one SOCDIS would allow stakeholders to coordinate their efforts across silos and provide more effective care.

 

Roles and responsibilities included:

  • Continue to enhance the Connect360 API application as per client needs, ensuring that new features are absorbed into the core asset.

  • Lead the technical design effort for implementing the requirements from Orange County.
