Valant, headquartered in Seattle, offers a Behavioral Health EHR and Practice Management Software.
Valant is built exclusively for behavioral health. It is designed to increase the administrative and clinical efficiency of users' practices and includes built-in outcome measures, billing, reporting, telehealth, and clinical documentation tools, all tailored to the unique needs of mental health.
CentralReach is a great practice management software for companies large or small. It is best suited for healthcare agencies that provide ABA therapy but can be used by practices that provide Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, or Mental Health services. The software allows full integration across multiple departments and is very customizable to your PMS needs.
Valant is a great space for front office to use in a patient/medical setting. I think it's best used on a small scale than a large scale. I have found it challenging at times with multiple locations and with about 3000 patients to keep track. Valant is excellent at record keeping, and communicating with the client via the patient portal. However, due to size and limited functionality - this would be hard to maintain for a larger scale.
CentralReach is a very robust software and sometimes it's hard to navigate or understand the system.
The CentralReach support team is not always quick to respond to questions or errors.
CentralReach has had a lot of latency issues recently which has caused the system to go down, making it impossible for end users to complete their job responsibilities.
BILLING- This is all Caps - There can be room for improvement in terms of billing efficiency
Automatic Reporting - this would be beneficial to set up or have as a feature
Billing Dashboard - to view all accounts that have matured or are outstanding
Batch Posting - be it insurances or specific patients. Even Superbills cannot be "chosen" by specific people - it's all clients with balances that are active or no balances and all charges but nothing that says you want statements for say these 20 people.
Appointment Recording - this could be more efficient versus one by one processing.
It's very user friendly. The workspace is big, easy to read and navigate. Also, the resource knowledge base is great for when you have questions and there are several videos and guides for how to use or do something. I have had less than a year of using it and adopted it pretty quickly within the first 3 months.
We've used multiple systems for multiple features that we now use CR for, such as Catalyst for data collection, VB MAPP APP for VB Mapp Assessments, Relias for Learner Management systems, Google Docs for scheduling and file management, etc. CR really incorporates the useful features of all of these, and plus a whole lot more and integrates them so that they work together. We still use Google Docs for some areas that CR doesn't do well with live documents and intuitive file management. All other features have been as well or better served through CR. The upgrade to CR from Relias for Learner Management/CUEs/Professional Development is extreme. CR has far better content, much more variety, is more user friendly, and has straightforward billing practices that lack with Relias, and far better customer support. The difference between those two for a LMS system is dramatic.
Labor efficiency - this has been negative. Billing has had a lot of manual processes that unfortunately take up a lot of man hours - if this were improved, I could see a ROI that's positive
Valant has been great at certain features including the "waitlist" to capture patients and improve our chances for revenue being increased
