OAK BROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following a comprehensive evaluation, CalMHSA (California Mental Health Services Authority) has selected Streamline Healthcare Solutions as its technology partner in offering the SmartCare^™ Electronic Health Record (EHR) to counties across the state.

CalMHSA, which provides California counties with an independent administrative and fiscal intergovernmental structure, has undertaken a major initiative to better enable counties to leverage best practices and economies of scale related to behavioral health and human services. CalMHSA chose SmartCare^™ as the EHR technology solution for this initiative because, among other things, it is a true enterprise platform that can meet the needs of multiple organizations by providing a variety of services and it has the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.

Dr. Amie Miller, Executive Director at CalMHSA, stated, “CalMHSA is excited to be partnering with Streamline Healthcare Solutions to continue our commitment to delivering solutions to our member counties that foster innovation, equity, and data-driven decision-making. CalMHSA believes that Streamline’s exclusive focus on the unique needs of the Behavioral Health Market, the agile nature of their Cloud-Based technology, and their organization’s willingness to enhance the SmartCare solution beyond the boundaries of a standard Electronic Health Record creates a unique environment through which the needs of a California Behavioral Health Agency can be supported on one platform.”
