SMART Electronic Health Record-System USAOTP Conference

Showcasing Electronic Health Record System at USAOTP Texas

Attendees enjoying SMART’s booth give-a-ways

For a third year, SMART is showcasing our electronic health record system to opioid treatment providers in Texas. The USAOTP Conference in Austin brings together opioid treatment providers for two days of networking and educational sessions. In the past topics have included regulations, ethics, Medicaid and funding, Methadone treatment issues, and the history of addiction. Attendees benefit from sharing and learning best practices through networking.

The influence USAOTP has on our electronic health record system

SMART Associates value the chance to spend face-to-face time with conference attendees. Further, the expressed needs of the opioid addiction treatment field directly impact the evolution of SMART’s EHR. Helping providers deliver the best in class patient care is what drives the functionalities we build into our opioid treatment EHR. The carefully designed features of our EHR can help to implement efficiencies across treatment organizations.

About SMART

This EHR was originally created to improve operational efficiency and increase ROI at SMART’s family-owned network of substance use treatment facilities.

Ending Stigma – AATOD 2016

in EHR Software News

The AATOD 2016 Conference recently adjourned at the Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore, MD. Organizers reported record attendance at this year’s conference. As a result, attendees, presenters, and exhibitors enjoyed networking with more opioid treatment professionals than ever before. SMART Associates were excited for the chance to spend face-to-face time with customers from across the country and to meet new attendees.

New Strategies – Disorders, Stigma, Recovery

The conference theme, “Saving Lives: Access to Improved Health and Recovery,” shined a light on new strategies for strengthening behavioral healthcare. Related learning and networking sessions spanned all five days of this outstanding conference. Treatment professionals had the opportunity to learn more about co-occurring disorders, opioid overdose prevention, and a variety of other current issues.

Moreover, this year’s event featured a forward-thinking workshop, “The New Day Campaign: Where Stigma Ends, Healing Begins.” This promoted other healing paths to ending the stigma associated with substance use disorder. The workshop showcased poetry, music, painting, and other art forms. These were examples of how art can not only aid in the recovery process but also can serve as a way to bring about understanding and end stigma.

Appreciating Dedicated Treatment Professionals

In line with years past, Clinical Science, Vista Pharm, and SMART Management, Inc. hosted another exciting customer appreciation party. Customers ascended upon the American Visionary Arts Museum Halloween night for an evening of art appreciation, dinner, and surprises! Guests enjoyed touring the multi-floor visionary museum leisurely throughout the evening. Finally, the night concluded with a grand raffle drawing. This included an Apple Watch, FitBit, wireless bluetooth speaker, wireless travel charging station, and even a Polaroid camera. This was an excellent opportunity for professionals to relax and enjoy informal networking in a fun atmosphere.
