Care Management Technologies’ Canadian Subsidiary Enters into Behavioral Pharmacy Management™ Services Program with the Manitoba Department of Health
IMPRxOVE Is a Groundbreaking, First-in-Kind Program for Canada
MORRISVILLE, NC, June 21, 2011 – Care Management Technologies, Inc. (CMT) announced today that its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Comprehensive NeuroScience™ of Canada, Inc. (CNSC), has contracted with Manitoba Health to provide comprehensive Behavioral Pharmacy Management Services for the MANITOBA IMPRxOVE™ (Improving Medication Prescribing and Outcomes Via Medical Education) Program, the first program of this kind in Canada.
CNSC’s Behavioral Pharmacy Management Services utilize their proprietary clinical algorithms, called Quality Indicators™ (QIs), and follow a proven audit and feedback protocol. The audit and feedback protocol provides feedback to prescribers regarding prescription regimens by comparing them to science-based literature regarding best practice prescribing. This approach is well supported in the scientific literature as a protocol to educate physicians regarding best practices.
CMT’s President, Carol Clayton, Ph.D., stated “This is a tremendously important milestone in our company’s evolution – our first contract for a solution that could be adapted for use by any Canadian province or by other international medical jurisdictions. Manitoba fosters an environment which is very supportive in both technology and healthcare; this is why we have chosen Winnipeg to be our headquarters.” Dr. Harold Carmel, Vice President of Clinical Services, added “this is an innovative, forward-thinking initiative on the part of Manitoba Health, which will result in significantly improved outcomes for Manitoba behavioral health patients.”
