Community Care Exchange
The 211OC Partner Network is made up of thousands of local health and human service providers throughout Orange County who have access to our innovative Community Care Exchange (CCE).
GetHelpOC™ Platform
By sharing information across providers (via our GetHelpOC™ platform), individuals avoid the need to repeatedly retell their stories, which reduces the emotional strain on them and minimizes trauma. For service providers, this streamlined process means more time can be dedicated to effective case management rather than redundant data intake, allowing for more focused, compassionate care.
The power of data is transformative—it enables smarter, more targeted decisions that better serve our community. 211OC plays a unique role in gathering extensive data on community needs.
Through our Helpline, Partner Network, Community Care Exchange, and the Orange County Homeless Management Information System (OC-HMIS), 211OC collects vital data that reveals community needs and service gaps.
