Challenges we solve

Caring for young people in custody means coordinating many disciplines, protecting sensitive information and keeping continuity as placements change.

Frequent placement changes

When youth move between facilities and programs, health history and treatment plans can be lost along the way.

Multidisciplinary coordination

Medical, behavioral health, nursing and case teams need a shared view without duplicating documentation.

Sensitive information

Behavioral health and substance use records require careful privacy controls, including 42 CFR Part 2.

Trauma-informed practice

Workflows should support consistent, trauma-informed care rather than forcing staff into adult-facility templates.

Key capabilities

A youth custody health record configured for trauma-informed, multidisciplinary care.
