VitalHub Announces Licensing of TREAT Case Management Software to the Nipissing Mental Health Housing & Support Services
TORONTO, Aug. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased to announce the licensing of the Company’s proprietary TREAT Case Management & Care Coordination software to the Nipissing Mental Health Housing & Support Services (NMHHSS), to replace their legacy system and provide an integrated electronic health record.
Nipissing Mental Health Housing & Support Services has signed a 5-year agreement with the Company to license the TREAT software. NMHHSS specializes in supporting people with serious mental illness and addiction issues in the Nipissing Region.
The deal arises following an integration of mental health services in the Nipissing Region. As a result, NMHHSS urgently needed to replace a legacy system to provide a comprehensive, case management and care coordination platform that would support a clients’ journey and allow caregivers to provide seamless, integrated care across their amalgamated organization from intake through to discharge across a variety of important programs that include; mental health case management, addictions and treatment, developmental services, peer support, family programs, employment, and housing
“Subsequent to our recent amalgamation, we needed to find a solution to replace our legacy system. Specifically one that would allow us to support all of the programs that we provide for the community, so we decided to speak with our peers in Ontario and that led to the choice of TREAT,” said Mary Davis, CEO of NMHHSS. “Following a review of other solutions, we determined VitalHub’s TREAT system was best suited to supporting our large multi-program and facility system integration needs. We look forward to our partnership with the VitalHub team.”
“We’re seeing a trend of regional consolidation and amalgamation of community mental health agencies across Ontario,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “Along with these amalgamations comes the need for robust EHRs that can provide a single platform for many different programs to provide integrated care. We are well-positioned as the leading platform for supporting consolidation having supported regional implementations in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and the Yukon territory...”
VitalHub would also like to announce that it has allocated a total 542,500 options to various employees of the Company and members of its board of directors at a strike price of 2.03 cents a share.
