Cantata Health Solutions, a leading provider of healthcare technology solutions for the Behavioral Health industry, has been selected by Mental Health Resources (MHR) in New Mexico as its technology partner and will deploy the Arize Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution.
Brad Rikel, MA, LPCC, MHR Executive Director, said, “From the onset, the Cantata team took the time to understand our mission and core values and how we apply those to the individual needs of our community. Cantata helped us see greater benefits available through technology and how we can improve the value of care we deliver to our communities.”
Arize is a comprehensive, person-centered, collaborative care platform created by and for providers, caregivers, and people served in the Health and Human Services community. Arize focuses on the individual, allowing people in care to participate in data workflows and processes. Arize was built from the ground up using current technology, featuring an open, flexible design that enables easy integration with internal and external data sources, and applications, and requires shorter development times.
“After test driving Arize for just a day,” continued Brad, “we knew that Arize is the most comprehensive and easy-to-use EHR solution focused on the needs of the health and human services industry. We spent many months reviewing all of the available options in the market. We concluded that Cantata’s Arize technology, including the strong alignment of their leadership team, best supported MHR’s mission of inspiring hope and renewing resiliency in all individuals we serve.” The Arize EHR platform will provide the flexibility needed to achieve their mission in today’s complex and integrated healthcare model.
Cantata’s cloud-based, mobile-first Arize EHR will be implemented as part of MHR’s long-term strategic imperatives for secure access wherever and whenever services are needed. Arize eliminates the technical restrictions common in outdated systems, allows for more informed clinical decision-making, and provides more effective consumer engagement.
“The enthusiasm and passion of everyone at Mental Health Resources is inspiring, and we look forward to collaborating with them on solutions that allow them to focus on their mission of improving people’s lives. We are committed to being a true technology partner with MHR. We are certain that Arize EHR will enable service delivery that benefits the children, youth, families, and communities they serve,” said Alan Tillinghast, CEO of Cantata Health Solutions.
