AdvancedMD and EirSystems Join Forces to Showcase Integrated Medication Management Solutions at Psych Congress 2025
AdvancedMD, a leading provider of cloud-based healthcare software for independent medical practices, announced that it will collaborate with EirSystems at the upcoming 2025 Psych Congress, taking place September 17–21 at the San Diego Convention Center. The two companies will jointly showcase how EirSystems’ innovative electronic medication administration records (eMAR) solution integrates seamlessly with the AdvancedMD electronic health record (EHR) platform. Attendees can learn more by visiting booth #650 during the conference.
The Psych Congress is widely regarded as the nation’s premier event on practical psychopharmacology, offering educational sessions, clinical updates, and technology demonstrations for behavioral health and mental health professionals. The event attracts psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, primary care physicians, and allied health providers who are engaged in treating mental health and substance use disorders.
This year, the spotlight on medication management is particularly timely. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, more than 48.5 million Americans aged 12 and older suffer from a substance use disorder (SUD). This staggering figure highlights the ongoing challenges faced by clinicians who must prescribe, monitor, and adjust treatment regimens for a rapidly growing patient population in need of effective, safe, and streamlined care solutions.
Addressing the Growing Need for Advanced Medication Management
As demand for behavioral health and substance abuse treatment services rises, so too does the complexity of care. Providers are tasked not only with prescribing medications but also with ensuring compliance, preventing drug interactions, reducing risks of diversion or misuse, and tracking long-term outcomes.
Traditional systems for managing prescriptions are often fragmented, relying on a patchwork of manual processes, siloed software tools, or paper-based records. These inefficiencies can contribute to delayed treatment, increased errors, and administrative burden—all of which undermine quality of care.
This is where the collaboration between AdvancedMD and EirSystems becomes significant. The integration brings together AdvancedMD’s robust EHR platform, designed for independent practices, with EirSystems’ specialized eMAR technology, tailored to improve medication administration and monitoring.
The combined solution aims to help providers:
- Streamline prescription processes by integrating prescribing workflows directly into patient records.
- Enhance medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs for patients struggling with opioid use disorder and other forms of substance abuse.
- Improve safety and reduce errors through automated documentation and alerts.
- Support long-term care for patients with chronic psychiatric conditions requiring complex medication regimens.
Why This Matters for Substance Abuse Treatment and Mental Health
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) has emerged as a cornerstone in addressing the opioid crisis and broader substance abuse challenges. MAT programs rely on medications such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone, often combined with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a holistic treatment approach.
However, MAT requires meticulous record-keeping and strict adherence to regulatory guidelines. Failure to maintain accurate medication records can lead to compliance issues, patient harm, or even closure of programs. EirSystems’ eMAR, when paired with AdvancedMD’s cloud-based EHR, directly addresses these challenges by offering providers an all-in-one, integrated solution.
For smaller private practices, which often operate with limited staff and resources, the integration provides a practical way to deliver hospital-grade medication management without the complexity or cost associated with larger enterprise systems.
Leadership Perspectives on the Collaboration
EirSystems CEO Ryan Seaberg emphasized the importance of this partnership for the provider community:
Our collaboration with AdvancedMD allows us to make a real difference for providers who need advanced medication management capabilities that fully support medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs. The Psych Congress is the perfect opportunity to show how our eMAR solution, when integrated with the AdvancedMD platform, improves efficiencies and minimizes errors across prescription processes.
This year’s announcement follows EirSystems’ recent addition to the AdvancedMD Marketplace, a growing ecosystem of third-party technology solutions designed to extend the functionality of the AdvancedMD platform.
AdvancedMD CEO Amanda Sharp echoed Seaberg’s enthusiasm, noting that the collaboration underscores the company’s commitment to supporting mental health professionals and specialty practices:
EirSystems’ groundbreaking technology helps AdvancedMD better support the unique prescription management needs of mental health professionals and specialty practices focused on long-term care. Now that our integration is complete, we’re excited to offer these enhanced capabilities—giving providers more tools to better support patient prescription requirements.
Live Demonstrations at Psych Congress 2025
Conference attendees will have the opportunity to see the integrated solution in action. Ryan Seaberg, CEO of EirSystems, and Joshua Williamson, Enterprise Account Executive at AdvancedMD, will be on-site at booth #650 throughout the event to provide live demonstrations.
The demonstrations will highlight how the integration enables:
- Real-time synchronization between eMAR and EHR records.
- Automated documentation of medication administration, improving regulatory compliance.
- Error reduction through alerts and cross-checks within the prescribing workflow.
- Streamlined communication between prescribers, nurses, and administrative staff.
These features are designed to give clinicians greater confidence in their medication management processes while reducing the administrative load that often consumes valuable clinical time.
Broader Implications for the Healthcare Landscape
The integration of AdvancedMD and EirSystems is not just about technology—it represents a step toward closing gaps in behavioral healthcare delivery. Medication management, while often overlooked compared to diagnostics or therapy, is a critical component in patient outcomes.
Inadequate or inefficient medication tracking can lead to relapses, non-compliance, or adverse drug events—all of which undermine treatment success. By introducing solutions that improve safety, accuracy, and efficiency, companies like AdvancedMD and EirSystems are directly contributing to better patient care and advancing the standard of practice across the industry.
The partnership also reflects a broader digital transformation trend in behavioral health. As mental health continues to gain parity with physical health in terms of funding, policy, and public awareness, providers are increasingly investing in technology platforms that can keep pace with evolving needs. Integrated solutions such as this one position practices to remain competitive and compliant while improving the overall patient experience.
