CentralReach starts off with a wonderful premise and shows a lot of promise. A newcomer to the market (launched in late 2012), CentralReach endeavors to not only provide a Meaningful-Use Certified EHR for mental health professionals, but also a tool through which users and other professionals can collaborate.
This system was developed for a residential chemical dependency treatment program and they are now hoping to branch out to offer it to other providers.
Compulink Psychadvantage has been around a while and, like Valant, has recently begun offering restructured pricing in an attempt to address the mental health market.
DocuTrac, Inc. has been around for quite some time, starting as a traditional software program focused on documentation. They eventually acquired Office Therapy, primarily to serve as the financial piece of the practice management system.
Many of the features one might want in a Practice Management System are present in the free version of the OfficeAlly product (Practice Mate). The pieces that aren’t there can be found in Patient Ally (Client Portal) and EHR 24/7 (More refined EHR features).
