Why Sharpen DTX Matters -- Interoperability and Pediatric Health Care

Interoperability in healthcare refers to the ability of different information systems to work together seamlessly. It allows electronic health records (EHR), various platforms, devices, and applications to access, exchange, and use data cooperatively and securely across organizational boundaries (HealthIT.gov).

For children's mental health, this means creating connected pathways between the many touchpoints in a child's wellcare journey—from pediatricians to specialty care.

Pediatric Mental Health Needs Connected Systems

When mental health interventions are built directly into solutions, they become a natural part of every well-child visit. This integration creates opportunities for early intervention at the most critical developmental stages, when treatment can be most effective (Children's Hospital Colorado; Contemporary Pediatrics, 2025).

The Collaborative Care Model (CCM) demonstrates interoperability in action. In this approach, primary care providers and behavioral health specialists collaborate on evidence-based treatments with regular psychiatric consultation. A dedicated care manager facilitates coordination between professionals, patients, and families (Yang et al., 2021).

When Sharpen DTX is integrated into a healthcare provider's EHR, it allows the child's entire care team to work in concert rather than isolation (Kolko & Perrin, 2014), improving health outcomes for children, adolescents and young adults.

When it comes to children's mental health, timely intervention can change life trajectories. Sharpen's interoperability isn't just about efficiency—it's about creating a safety net that catches children before they fall through the cracks of a fragmented system.

Resiliency Technologies is committed to offering gold-standard solutions like Sharpen DTX to improve collaborative care in child and adolescent health.  Let's discuss an integration today.
