Founding members, launching in Tennessee

Know every referral reached care.

Built specifically for behavioral healthcare, not general healthcare.

HopeConnect is the behavioral health collaboration network that helps organizations discover trusted providers, coordinate referrals securely, and confirm every patient reaches care.

Behavioral health referrals disappear the moment they're sent, no confirmation, no appointment, no way to know if the patient ever arrived. HopeConnect closes that loop, from sent to seen.

Closed loop
Example: the view flags where referrals stall, like a batch sitting past your reply target at Sent so they're caught before a patient falls through.

HopeConnect connects behavioral healthcare organizations. It doesn't replace your EHR it connects the organizations your EHR can't.

Why HopeConnect is different

A category of its own.

Directories
help you find providers

A static list. No status, no availability, no idea if the referral ever landed.

EHRs
help you document care

Built to store what happens inside one organization, not to move a patient between them.

HopeConnect
helps providers work together

The connective layer between organizations, so a referral moves from sent to seen, with the loop closed.

Built by providers who lived the problem

Not created in a boardroom.

HopeConnect comes out of years spent coordinating behavioral health referrals, making the phone calls, sending the faxes, waiting for responses, and never knowing whether patients reached care. That experience became HopeConnect.

The referral black hole

Most organizations can't answer one question.

Did the patient we referred actually start care? The tools were never built to move a patient between organizations, so the trail just ends.

Sent ?
A referral goes out by fax, portal, or phone, and the sender never learns what happened next.
No loop
A no-show looks like success until someone checks. Usually no one does, and the case stays open forever.
No data
Turnaround, completion, leakage, the numbers that reflect whether patients got help simply don't exist.

Behavioral healthcare doesn't have an access problem, it has a coordination problem. Providers exist. Patients need care. The connection between them is broken. That's why we built HopeConnect.

The state of behavioral health referrals
Providers spend hours searching for the right clinician.
Patients wait days or weeks to be seen.
Referrals disappear with no confirmation.
Fax and phone tag are still the norm.
Organizations can't measure referral completion.
No shared view exists between organizations.

That's why HopeConnect exists.

Founding Network, two ways in

Behavioral healthcare has never had a true network.

Providers work in one system. Referral partners work in another. Hospitals work in another. HopeConnect connects them, and it only works when both sides are on it, which is why we're building it supply-first. Pick the side you're on.

For providers & practices

Get found for the patients you actually treat, free.

Every provider in HopeConnect maintains a Provider Passport, so referral sources find the right clinician by specialty, populations served, insurance participation, referral preferences, availability, and HopeConnect-validated licensure. You're a network participant, not a static listing.

  • Provider Passport one professional identity carrying clinical focus, referral preferences, current availability, and HopeConnect-validated licensure, trusted across the network.
  • Explainable matches: you see exactly which criteria a referral met. Never a hidden score.
  • License numbers and internal validation records are never displayed to other providers; metrics show only once there's enough history to mean something.
Founding provider access Free during the Founding Network, no per-referral fees
For organizations

Prove it on your own referrals before you commit.

Hospitals, community mental health, FQHCs, health plans, schools. We configure HopeConnect to your workflow, run a pilot alongside you, and hand you a report on turnaround, completion, and leakage, yours to keep either way.

  • Closed-loop tracking across the full lifecycle, draft to completed, so no referral goes quiet.
  • Referral Readiness: benefit, assessment, document, consent, authorization, that never blocks urgent care.
  • Governed throughout: 42 CFR Part 2 consent gates, role-based access, and every write audited.

For the provider side

Why providers join.

You've heard why organizations run pilots. Here's what's in it for the clinicians and practices who make up the network.

Referrals that fit

Receive referrals matched to your specialties, populations, and plans, not everything, just what you actually treat.

Control your preferences

Set what you want to receive and publish real availability, so you're never sent referrals you can't take.

Collaborate securely

Message and coordinate with referring teams on the case, under consent, building trusted referral relationships.

One professional identity

Your Provider Passport carries clinical focus, availability, and validated licensure, trusted across the network.

Visibility, not phone tag

See where each referral stands instead of chasing it, the loop closes back to you when the patient is seen.

Free during the Founding Network

Individual providers join free, with no per-referral fees, and help shape the network before statewide launch.

Why it compounds

Every provider who joins makes the network work better.

More providers join
Matching gets better
Referrals move faster
The network grows stronger

That's why the founding cohort matters: early members don't just use the network, they make it more valuable for everyone who joins after.

How a referral travels

A governed lifecycle, not a fax and a hope.

Every referral moves through the same visible path, and HopeConnect organizes, flags, and routes at each step. It never diagnoses, triages, or auto-decides. That stays with your clinicians.

01, PREPARE

Ready to send

A five-dimension readiness check confirms benefit, assessment, documents, consent, and authorization, without ever blocking urgent care.

02, MATCH

The right provider

Matched by "N of M criteria met", specialty, population, plan, availability. You see what matched, not a black-box score.

03, COORDINATE

Sent & accepted

Scheduling, secure messaging, and documents move on the case under consent, so nothing is re-gathered or lost.

04, CLOSE

Loop closed

Confirmation travels back to the referrer when the patient is seen, and the whole pipeline is measured.

Why founding members
We'd rather show you the numbers than sell you a story.

HopeConnect is launching with a focused group of providers and organizations across Tennessee. Founding members shape the network before statewide rollout, and get the first published proof that it works on referrals like theirs. We publish no number we can't defend, and metrics stay withheld below a valid sample.

WHAT FOUNDING MEMBERS GET
A baseline report on your own referrals, yours to keep
Turnaround, completion, and leakage measured on your real data, whether or not you continue.
Why we built HopeConnect

Years working inside healthcare showed me the same problem over and over: patients waited while providers searched, referrals disappeared, and phone calls replaced any real visibility into whether someone reached care. HopeConnect is the platform I wished existed.
