Netsmart and RethinkFirst have partnered to integrate Rethink Behavioral Health (RethinkBH), a comprehensive practice management software solution specifically designed for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and pediatric therapy, into human services workflows. This collaboration will seamlessly integrate the RethinkBH best-in-class autism care resources and leading ABA clinical solution into the suite of Netsmart CareRecords™, optimizing accessibility and quality of care for individuals with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
“At MyPath, we are passionate about the people we serve and the work we do, and we are so excited for this new partnership and believe it will make a true impact for our organization,” said Janet Schulz, MyPath Chief Information Officer. “Our ABA services require a very specialized workflow. In our search for an enterprise electronic record, we were also seeking ABA-specific solutions, so we value that Rethink technology will be a component of our broader Netsmart implementation. With advanced technology at our fingertips, we can optimize our data collection, consolidating information within one unified platform.”
This solution will empower autism and IDD organizations to digitize ABA therapy workflows within one care view, increasing ease and efficiency for clinical staff at a time when job satisfaction is crucial for retention. Integration of ABA clinical documentation and scheduling into the Netsmart myAvatar™ and myEvolv® electronic health record (EHR) solutions will also allow for real-time, data-driven decision-making, as well as support collaboration and communication among team members and caregivers. Both the board certified behavior analyst (BCBAs), registered behavior technicians (RBTs) and individuals served will benefit from a more cohesive approach to care.
“Our partnership with RethinkFirst is another milestone in our one-platform approach, by working alongside another industry-leading technology provider to innovate and advance solutions for our clients serving the autism and IDD community,” said David Strocchia, SVP & Managing Director of Human Services. “We believe this collaboration is truly a game-changer for these organizations as they seek to digitize ABA data collection and analysis within one care view and seek to improve clinical outcomes. We look forward to our clients’ future success.”
Benefits of an integrated platform include:
- Comprehensive solutions for treatment planning and scheduling
- Data collection and assessment
- A mobile application that allows providers to handle their documentation at the point of care
- Comprehensive library of over 1,500 treatment goals, with video-based exercises for staff and caregivers
- 40-hour RBT certification courses
- Portal for parents and caregivers with resources to track their child’s progress, share documents with care team and access on-demand training resources
- Rethink’s proprietary Medical Necessity Assessment to help clinicians prescribe effective ABA dosages to individuals
Both myAvatar and myEvolv EHRs have already achieved ONC-Health IT 2015 Edition Cures Update Certification, enabling integrated platforms for enhanced user experience and provider-friendly workflows, supporting providers in recruiting and retaining the top providers in the field.
“By combining the power of the Netsmart integrated platform and our scheduling and ABA clinical documentation, we can make an incredible impact on the way these communities receive care,” said Daniel Etra, RethinkFirst co-founder and CEO. “With Netsmart’s extensive experience in transforming care delivery and Rethink’s wealth of industry-leading resources, sourced from the most comprehensive ABA treatment dataset available, the collaboration will help positively transform the lives of a larger population, supporting healthier and more fulfilling outcomes.”
