The partnership between Lightning Step and Praesum will allow staff to seamlessly connect to online tools that will help Praesum support patients in treatment and recovery, further empowering its staff to deliver the highest standards of medical excellence. State-of-the-art technology allows seamless documentation and improved efficiency across Praesum's 30+ facilities in six states.

"This software will revolutionize our healthcare practices and provide dedicated clinicians with an easy process from admission to discharge and beyond, with less time on screens, thus more time addressing mental health and substance use disorders."

"Lightning Step not only enhances Praesum's ability to provide personalized care but will allow staff and patients to utilize unique features within the same platform - eliminating the need for multiple logins and freeing up staff to focus on addressing substance use and mental health disorders and saving more lives," added Scott Busby, Director of Client Services for Praesum Healthcare.
