VitalHub Announces a Multi-Year Licensing of the TREAT Client Information System to Habitat Services
TORONTO, Feb. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX: VHI) (OTCQX:VHIBF) is pleased to announce the licensing of the Company’s proprietary TREAT Client Information System to Habitat Services (“Habitat”).
Habitat Services is a Toronto-based non-profit housing agency and that has been utilizing VitalHub’s Pirouette case management software for many years. They are one of 50 service providers within the Toronto Mental Health and Addictions Access Point network.
Habitat Services funds, monitors, and supports 980 beds/units in boarding homes and self-contained apartment buildings at sites across the City of Toronto. Habitat funded-homes provide housing for adults that have been marginalized by poverty and their mental health status, ensuring that they have access to quality housing and services.
Habitat is investing to improve, enhance, and modernize the support of their workflows by migrating to the comprehensive TREAT client information system to better suit the needs of their employees and the services they provide. Habitat Services has signed a five-year agreement with VitalHub to license the TREAT software with the goal of this being the long term solution for their client referrals, supports, and housing subsidy administration.
This implementation will include several TREAT modules that are not available in Pirouette, including online public facing referral/intake forms, billing, and the client portal. This new agreement results from Habitat Services’ need to support comprehensive, and sophisticated client and facilities management requirements which needs a solution that is configurable.
“We’ve had a positive partnership with VitalHub through our use of the Pirouette solution, but as we further evolved the programs and services we provide to our community, we knew that we would need a more adaptable and scalable solution. We reviewed our needs with the team at VitalHub and after a thorough review of TREAT, we made the decision to invest in the migration,” said Chris Persaud, Executive Director of Habitat Services.
“Habitat’s decision to extend their partnership with VitalHub underscores that our comprehensive suite of solutions provides a graduation path for organizations with evolving needs. Our EHR and Case Management System ecosystem allows us to help our customers as their needs progress and extend the lifecycle of our client relationships. We’ve had a significant number of customers elect to replace their legacy EHR with TREAT demonstrating that our substantial investments in this platform are making a positive difference for community and social services providers in Canada and the US,” said Niels Tofting, EVP, Business Development & Marketing of VitalHub.
