Amid record high deaths associated with drug overdoses in Colorado, the state's Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) sought to address this critical issue by creating a portfolio of digital solutions to better support all stakeholders within the state's behavioral health infrastructure. The BHA partnered with Dimagi to develop a suite of solutions to modernize operations and improve access to MAT and other behavioral healthcare.

At APHA, Dimagi will present a poster case study exploring a cornerstone solution in its technology suite for Colorado: the state's centralized MAT registry. Attendees can view the poster and learn more about Dimagi's partnership and BH modernization approach at the poster session.
