OrionNet Systems has been
taking great strides to service the Health Home industry and more growth is
expected to come as OrionNet Systems will release version 2.0 of their
companion app to their best selling EHR certified practice management software,
ThinkHealth, this month.
“We’ve signed up another
health home provider for our services,” said Clyde Wafford, president of OrionNet
Systems. “As ThinkHealth is EHR certified and the ThinkHealth-Touch is mobile
and can be used offline, we are uniquely qualified to assist Health Home
agencies serve their clients.”
The ThinkHealth-Touch enables
clinicians to write their progress notes while on-the-go and off-line on either
an iPad or an Android tablet. The app is also capable of collecting digital
signatures from clients. These features are becoming increasingly important for
those in the health home industry and behavioral health clinicians who seek to
do their job out of an office setting.
“We understand how important
behavioral health homes are to the industry and to our members,” said Clyde
Wafford. “So we started looking into EHR certification and the use of mobile as
we knew health homes would need both features.”
Health Homes is an optional
Medicaid State Plan benefit that provides an opportunity to build a
person-centered system of care that achieves improved outcomes and better
services and value for the Oklahoma SoonerCare program for individuals with
complex needs. The Oklahoma Department
of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) has partnered with the
Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) to expand upon the patient-centered
medical home model to provide coordinated primary and behavioral health
integration.
The expectation is that
behavioral health homes will result in improved quality of care and more cost
efficiencies; improved experience with care on the part of members; and
reductions in the use of hospitals, emergency departments, and other expensive
facility-based care, such as Psychiatric Residential treatment for children.
“We’re always thinking of various features
that will make services easier for Health Home providers and our behavioral
health clients,” said Clyde Wafford. “So it’s no surprise that OrionNet Systems
is experiencing growth.”
