NueMD client Behavioral Health Link recently garnered the 2008 Council of State Government Innovations Award for its Georgia Crisis and Access Line (GCAL), which allows counselors to directly schedule an appointment for the caller with a provider.

The award is given to state programs which show innovative, successful experiences that are transferable to other states.  GCAL fought off competition from 10 other regional finalists who were evaluated on the newness, creativeness and transferability of their program.
 
Part of GCAL’s innovative technology is provided by NueMD’s powerful Internet-based scheduler and practice management system, which allows counselors to directly schedule appointments for callers at a number of mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services locally. .

We would like to congratulate BHL for all of their accomplishments with GCAL and their recent award.
