Valant, a leading electronic health record (EHR) platform for behavioral healthcare practices, has introduced new updates designed to enhance operational efficiency for behavioral health providers. These updates include the introduction of Valant Treatment Plans and Valant Custom Forms, which aim to streamline workflows, improve revenue collection, and ensure compliance with payer requirements.
The new Valant Treatment Plans feature addresses the complex documentation requirements of payers through a single, flexible system. This tool allows practices to meet the evolving needs of payers by offering customizable fields and reminder-based review cycles. Clinicians can now create a consistent treatment experience using a research-backed content library that includes over 1,000 preset problems, goals, objectives, and interventions. This feature also sets operational guardrails, ensuring that clinicians meet payer requirements without the need for manual oversight, thereby providing practices peace of mind during audits.
Valant Custom Forms offers another significant improvement by empowering practices to build advanced automated forms and segment intake flows according to specific programs. This tool can route the appropriate consent documents to new patients based on the services they are seeking. For instance, different forms can be auto-assigned to new clients seeking adult psychotherapy versus those needing adolescent psychiatric evaluations. According to Valant CEO Ram Krishnan, collecting patient data and consent is often a time-consuming process that requires multiple external solutions and manual data entry. Valant Custom Forms aims to simplify this process, making it fast, trackable, and user-friendly so that practices can operate seamlessly from start to finish within the Valant platform.
These updates are particularly significant for behavioral health professionals working in both group and solo private practices. Valant's integrated solution facilitates better patient care, smoother operations, and compliance with regulatory requirements. By automating and streamlining these essential processes, Valant enables healthcare providers to focus more on patient care and less on administrative burdens.
The implications of these updates are far-reaching. For behavioral healthcare practices, improved operational efficiency can lead to better patient outcomes, increased patient satisfaction, and potentially higher revenue. By meeting payer requirements more effectively, practices can avoid costly audits and penalties. Additionally, the ability to customize treatment plans and forms can enhance the quality of care provided, ensuring that each patient receives a tailored and consistent treatment experience.
Overall, Valant's latest platform updates represent a significant advancement for behavioral healthcare practices, offering tools that not only improve operational efficiency but also ensure compliance and enhance patient care.
