In an extremely competitive bid process, where Handel was among many other vendors submitting proposals, the company was chosen by the County of Cuyahoga in Ohio to implement RiteTrack within Justice Affairs and the Strengthening Communities Youth (SCY) program. RiteTrack will be implemented across three Justice Affairs agencies (Treatment Alternatives to Street Crimes, the Youth Development Center, and Treatment Services), as well as within the SCY program, which is co-managed by Justice Affairs and the Alcohol & Drug Addiction Services Board of Cuyahoga County. RiteTrack will serve as a single point-of-entry for all client information, cases, treatment plans, and billing in all of these agencies, as well as a facilitator of information sharing between agencies. Handel worked with the County of Cuyahoga several years ago in a consulting capacity and is very excited to be able to work with the County once again to implement RiteTrack.

Handel is thrilled to announce that the Fairbanks Native Association (FNA) has chosen RiteTrack to be used for Ch'eghutsen', a SAMHSA-funded System of Care located in Fairbanks, Alaska, as well as in eight villages in two other sub regions of Alaska. Ch'eghutsen' — Children Are Precious - strives to establish an effective, culturally appropriate mental health system in Interior Alaska. FNA chose Handel in a competitive bid process from a group of other software vendors. RiteTrack will be used at Ch'eghutsen' for case management, treatment planning, to create integrated clinical records, and for billing functionality. RiteTrack will also facilitate a connection between Ch'eghutsen's central facilities and case managers in the organization's remote villages. We at Handel look forward to working with the staff at Ch'eghutsen', as well as others in the Fairbanks Native Association!
