From 988 and mobile crisis to the team in the field — on one crisis thread
Arkansas is building crisis continuum capacity with 988 and mobile crisis response. Respondr keeps the episode together after the transfer — intake, dispatch, field status, and handoff — without replacing your EHR.
Why this matters in Arkansas
Arkansas DAABHS crisis services is the frame. Ops keeps the episode intact.
Arkansas supports a crisis continuum through Arkansas DHS — DAABHS and related pathways — someone to call via 988, and when needed, mobile crisis response in the community. Arkansas DAABHS crisis services and 988 sets expectations for local teams.
Policy and 988 define who answers the phone. They do not, by themselves, keep intake notes, dispatch, field status, and warm handoff on one record after the transfer — especially across counties and shifts.
That gap is where episodes fragment: a line worker writes context into one tool, a supervisor assigns by text or radio, and field status lives in memory until someone updates a spreadsheet later.
Where Respondr fits
Respondr is crisis operations software — not an EHR. It sits after the 988 or crisis-line transfer so coordinators open the case, dispatch mobile crisis, and keep field status and follow-up visible without replacing clinical documentation systems.
Open the case while the caller is still on the line
Coordinator intake captures location, priority, and context so the mobile crisis does not inherit a spreadsheet after the 988 or crisis-line handoff.
Dispatch mobile crisis — and keep field status visible
Live board, per-member status, and field-first My Cases on phone and tablet: map, ETA after accept, and status through clear — matching how Arkansas expects teams to respond in the community.
Keep follow-up and warm handoff on the same episode
Time-limited follow-up and program handoff stay on the case thread — so crisis response does not end when the radio goes quiet.

Fit your protocol, not ours
Counties do not share one intake form or one bed policy. Share how your line, dispatch, placement, and care coordination actually work. We adjust the live demo in days — AI-assisted build is why that is fast, not what you are buying — then you walk the same thread on your rules.
Show us your rules
Intake fields, CAT team vs solo, assign SLA, 72-hour follow-up, bed and SUD placement rules, and what “cleared” means on your team.
We reshape the demo in days
Workflow and seeds typically change in days — fields, SLAs, CAT statuses, resource list, census. HIPAA hosting, BAA, SSO, and EHR or 988-vendor integration are not a week; we say that up front.
Walk your version
Same continuum — Crisis, Bed, SUD, and Care Coordination personas — on boards that follow your protocol, not a generic county template.
Common questions
No. Respondr is operations software for crisis, bed management, substance use stays, and care coordination. It complements your clinical systems rather than replacing them — programs keep their own notes; the platform keeps status, capacity, and the person’s thread.
City mobile crisis units, county behavioral health (including Crisis Now / 988 call centers), and state or regional programs that need one intake-to-dispatch thread across jurisdictions — plus the bed, SUD, and care coordination teams that receive those people. The same workflow scales from a municipal CAT team to a multi-county continuum.
Yes. CAT My Cases is built for phones and tablets: a single-column phone home, a two-column tablet grid, an incident map on each assignment, and an ETA next to the address after a team member accepts dispatch.
Each case has a team chat thread. A header bell lists role-scoped work — P0/P1 waiting for dispatch, overdue follow-ups, pending warm handoffs, and PTO to review — and opens the exact screen.
Dispatchers assign scheduled Primary CAT teams from the board or intake. Relief and PERT cover backup and escalation; per-member status shows who has arrived, started assessment, or cleared.
The supervisor dashboard shows Crisis now (open, unassigned, P0/P1), stale cases (24h+), team utilization, and PTO. Notifications and the CAT team scheduler keep staffing and caseload in the same loop.
Request a demo on this site. The next step is a live walkthrough with our team — crisis intake and CAT, then bed or SUD census and care coordination when that matches your continuum. You can book that time from the confirmation page. We email a time-limited access code after we review the request; the site does not generate a code automatically.
Workflow and demo seeds — intake fields, SLAs, CAT statuses, follow-up rules, resource lists — typically change in days or a couple of weeks. HIPAA production hosting, a BAA, SSO/IdP, and EHR or 988-vendor integration are not a week; those follow a later production conversation. The public demo uses local browser storage only.
The production platform is designed for HIPAA-aligned hosting with encryption, RBAC, and audit logs. This demo uses local browser storage only and is opened with a time-limited access code.
Yes. After crisis, closed-loop referrals go to Bed Management (CSU, CRS, in-home) or Substance Use (residential, detox, and related stays). Receiving staff accept, waitlist, or decline with a reason — Accept is not Admit — and live census shows capacity and the stay clock.
Care Coordination is the months after the incident: a caseload of people, care plan, outreach tasks, meds awareness, and assessments — not tonight’s dispatch board. Enrollment is intentional; crisis and stay documentation stay in their programs.
