Behavioral Health Providers Gain Access to Complete Medication History, Clinical Alerts, and Adherence Tools

TAMPA, Fla., and ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ContinuumCloud, the leading provider of behavioral health software solutions, and healthcare technology pioneer DrFirst announced a strategic partnership to bring advanced medication management and prescribing capabilities to behavioral health providers.

This collaboration integrates medication management solutions from DrFirst into ContinuumCloud's Welligent EHR platform, delivering an efficient prescribing workflow, complete with the nation's most comprehensive medication history, allergy and other clinical alerts, prescription price transparency, and tools to boost patient adherence. The integration also supports electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS), an essential feature for behavioral health providers to make safe, informed prescribing decisions backed by a patient's full medication history.

ContinuumCloud also adopted the mobile app, iPrescribe by DrFirst, for secure prescribing from any location using an Apple or Android device. The app provides DEA-approved security, EPCS with direct access to state prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), and multifactor identity-proofing for prescribers.

"We're pleased to collaborate with ContinuumCloud to perfect the prescribing process for behavioral health providers," said G. Cameron Deemer, CEO of DrFirst. "Their thoughtful integration of our medication management solutions into the EHR create efficient and easy-to-use prescription workflows and safety, freeing up time for what matters most—patient care."

With a network of over 450 clients and 175,000 active members across the U.S., ContinuumCloud empowers behavioral health providers to positively impact patients' lives.

"We are committed to providing our clients with best-in-class solutions that support their service delivery needs," said Bob Bates, CEO at ContinuumCloud. "This new integration is a great example of that commitment in action. It makes life easier for providers and patients, all while keeping data security as a top priority."
