Alamosa, Colorado — March 30, 2002 โ” SyCare, a leading Colorado behavioral health care system, has selected StayStat to provide the next generation case management program for their public sector client population.
According to Arnold Salazar, SyCare Executive Director, โStayStat delivered a system that met the needs of our clinical staff, while offering access to information for our consumers. By implementing this new program, SyCare now has a comprehensive medication management program that enables our providers and consumers the ability to identify adverse medication interactions, create medication intake and refill reminders via phone or e-mail, and access up-to-date drug information.
