The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech) has awarded nearly $200,000 in grants to four electronic health records vendors to build systems to increase reporting of critical data on children receiving behavioral health services, the state-run organization said Tuesday.
The vendors will work with a dozen behavioral health providers through the state, including Worcester-based Youth Opportunities Upheld Inc., to build new electronic interfaces that will allow the providers to the state’s Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative.
The grants are a result of stakeholder meetings on inefficiencies identified by the Massachusetts eHealth Institute, a division of MassTech, in the work flows of behavioral health providers.
Awards include:
$54,000 for eHana of Boston
$54,000 for Netsmart Technologies of Kansas
$31,000 for PsyTech Solutions of Pennsylvania
$54,000 for Qualifacts Systems of Tennessee
