You Gotta Believe.. In DataHow wellconnected Brings Social Service Together

Belief in data.

​Brown and White Ventures' new portfolio company, wellconnected, is driving that expression to draw funders and nonprofits together to better serve the people who need their services.

​CEO Duane Conners said wellconnected's platform, allco, has been engineered to fit an agencies’ specific needs around intake and case management.

​The platform coordinates that information in such a way that users can pull automated health information summaries, which are presented in layman terms and create crucial context for SDOH.

​“Just like an HIE, ‘allco’ has a longitudinal record for social care,” Conners said. “The difference is ours is directly built into the case management suite. So if someone walks into a shelter, it’s a full-stack understanding of their history – if they ever needed transportation or childcare or have food insecurity – because all of those community agencies really need to work together.”

​Conners spreads that message at events like the HIMSS conference in Las Vegas, an international gathering of those leading cutting-edge healthcare and IT earlier this year. There, he shared the story of wellconnected's first-of-its-kind community information exchange in Chicago, Buffalo, New Jersey and West Virginia and the importance of leveraging data for the social determinants of health.

​“If someone comes in for housing assistance, our users can see historically that he lost his job and he needed rent assistance that had fallen off," Conners said. "So he can step in and start working with those other providers to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”

​The company was formed in 2021 as a mission-driven startup aiming to create a better social safety net for the people in our society who need help.

Through its ‘allco’ software, the company brings a networked enterprise platform to a fractious and inefficient industry, driving collaboration between nonprofits and their funders. Government entities and foundations in the states and communities wellconnected serves are driving adoption to thousands of nonprofits.
