public health and behavioral health clinical and operational
processes. DuPage will use the Avatar platform as a single source
solution for client tracking, scheduling, assessment, progress
notes, treatment planning and reporting, with the Netsmart software
designed to support DuPage's integration and data exchange
requirements. The DuPage County Health Dept. contract also includes
professional services for project management, installation,
