Operant Systems and NextStep Solutions announce collaboration in Autism Program Management with Behavioral Health EHR
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NextStep Solutions, Auburn Hills, MI-based behavioral health Electronic Health Records (EHR) software announces new collaboration with Operant Systems, (New York, NY), developer of the ABA Data Notebook autism-spectrum mobile/web platform used by agencies, schools, therapists, caseworkers, parents, behavioral and medical health professionals to record outcome data on skills acquisition and behavior management programs/interventions.
Operant Systems ABA Data Notebook mobile/web solution enables professionals to manage day-to-day progress in a reliable manner so that timely modifications can be made to a student's plan. Operant Systems needed a practice management solution to support their client's needs for scheduling, billing and service management. NextStep Solutions software provides the administrative background for billing, paying, scheduling, and maintaining demographics of the client's they are servicing.
Says Barry Katz, CEO of Operant Systems "We do the intervention and programs and Next Step Solutions handles the rest. It's a next level of detailed analytics of what's going on with a special needs child or adult that NextStep Solutions delivers for our clients."
In the autism and special needs clinical management world, most of the day to day management, recording and assessing of skills and behaviors is done with pen and paper. By utilizing the ABA Data Notebook and NextStep Solutions as a suite of software, the organizations managing the care can see all of the client progress across clinicians and the organization. Small organizations could get away with pen and paper, but once the organization exceeds 30 clients, they require a solution that allows them visibility into how all clients are progressing, and insights into how their programs and therapies are working.
Mr. Katz says the best benefit to the partnership is on the regulatory side: "Once the word gets out that there is a total solution, and that better services can be provided, this impacts how counties, cities, states and insurers track, monitor and pay for these types of clinical services."
Dawn Buck, NextStep Solutions Director of Sales adds "There is an opportunity to change how autism services are managed and recorded, and NextStep Solutions provides that administrative support for ABA Data Notebook users to fully integrate their clinic, as well as serve more patients with better care."
David Ballenberger, MSW, NextStep Solutions says the collaboration works for existing NextStep Solutions users too. "Working with Operant Systems and their ABA Data Notebook allows NextStep Solutions to support clinics that work with patients on the autism spectrum. They know how to track autism. We know how to support their clinicians in tracking, managing, reporting and billing for their work."
