We accomplish this by enabling providers across sectors to collaborate and connect the individuals they serve through our secure platform. By using our platform, providers can seamlessly connect community members to services that can improve their health and well-being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We believe that prioritizing the privacy and dignity of individuals seeking care is fundamental to the mission we share with our partners across communities.

Our platform features a robust consent process that is centered around the person seeking care. The consent form is translated into over forty languages and available in multiple formats to promote accessibility. We designed this consent model to protect client privacy and alleviate the challenges people face when seeking services. When accessing services through providers coordinating through our platform, individuals have the right to know what information is collected from their providers, the right to consent to the sharing of their information, the right to correct their information, the right to revoke consent to sharing their information, and the right to delete their information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these fundamental rights, individuals seeking care should trust that their information will be protected and secure. At Unite Us, we protect all social care information as though it were protected health information, employing the same security measures required by HIPAA for all data on our platform, regardless of where it originates. We also provide heightened protections for information subject to 42 CFR Part 2 and other federal and state protections, enabling providers that have historically been siloed to collaborate with their partners and improve outcomes. Our partners have welcomed this opportunity to securely connect across sectors:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNormally, we are not able to use any other platforms because they could jeopardize the safety of survivors of gender-based violence. Not being able to receive and make referrals through other platforms kept us siloed. This is the first community-based referral connector system that we\u2019ve ever seen that would meet our qualifications and ensure survivor safety. Unite Us worked closely with us to ensure that this platform could work for our population. This partnership creates more referral pathways for healthcare and other community-based organizations to connect survivors to our services that might not have otherwise been referred.\u201d \u2013 Executive Director of a Community Provider Serving Survivors of Domestic and Interpersonal Violence in Oregon<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By providing the technology and resources to support secure coordination across sectors, we alleviate the burdens imposed on resource-constrained providers serving our communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we develop new features for our solutions, we always take into account community feedback to ensure that the individuals in need of care and community partners serving them are heard. We listen to our community partners to reflect our shared vision to promote seamless access to care that centers the individual. As one community partner shared:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUnite Us has successfully and easily linked families with whom I work and resources specific for their needs. I recently had a family with a variety of needs. The mother and her two children were living in a car but were able to get a home through a community program. Unfortunately, they did not have any furniture, lighting, clothing, or household goods. The mother was also interested in assistance in obtaining childcare and a job. The mother agreed to me entering her information into the Unite Us Platform. It took about five minutes or so. The mother was sent a text message from the program, where she had to give electronic permission for Unite Us to disseminate her information to the resources I had chosen. Within 24 hours, she was linked to a potential employer, financial resources, and <a href=\"https:\/\/uniteus.com\/solutions\/providers\/\">community resources<\/a> to meet their concrete needs.
