This team is powered by Unite Us.

Community Engagement Managers are assigned to a particular region and hold all influencer and strategy sessions in that community. They hold workflow planning meetings to ensure that the technology is personalized to fit each partner’s needs. CEMs are responsible for bringing together partners as part of a regional socialization process. CEMs help you join leaders from diverse sectors in the community, discuss the platform and answer questions about joining NCCARE360, and complete the partner registration form. 

Network Health Managers and Operations Analysts assist users after they have gained access to the software. They make modifications and adjustments based on learnings of the community and give ongoing technical assistance. They help you get trained on the Unite Us platform, successfully onboard staff, and find out how to access data. Network Health Managers monitor the network and identify trends in the data to help ensure its success. They conduct ongoing user support and receive feedback on NCCARE360 features, empowering you to continue utilizing the network.
