EVENT DETAILS |
Join us for a Brown Bag discussion about the latest pilot out of CIvic Hall Labs: ReferNYC, a collaborative effort between Civic Hall Labs, several city agencies & social service organizations to develop an open data infrastructure that can streamline the work of providing referrals.
Over 3 million New Yorkers access some form of social services for support. New York City has one of the broadest safety nets in thecountry, but maintaining up-to-date data is becoming a major challenge. Which organizations provide what services to whom? Whereare they & when are they open? What languages do they speak? These details are constantly in flux & there is a baffling array ofcall centers, directories, websites & apps, each with duplicative & often contradictory information. Referrers in the health, human,and social services space need a better way to provide, fund, or refer people to services, but they don't have a sustainable, real-timeway to share or maintain this information
ReferNYC will create the infrastructure that helps integrate previously-siloed systems & open up data about health & humanservices in NYC. The open data exchange will help organizations providing critical services share real-time referraldirectory data to people in need by connecting referral organizations.We are seeking partners to help build the health & human services open data exchange.
