SEATTLE, Washington., Aug. 20, 2013 – Valant is pleased to announce today its inclusion on the Inc, 5000. At 1818, Valant is ranked alongside other elite organizations as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
As the first 100% web based and certified EMR customized for the behavioral health industry, Valant differentiates itself from other vendors by providing a platform to track and improve clinical outcomes; a vital feature for psychiatrists who are facing numerous upheavals with the recent introduction of the DSM5 and across the board with the Affordable Care Act.
Since releasing their first software suite in 2005, the start-up company has seen user numbers more than double each year.
“We are very proud of our achievements,” states Valant’s CEO and practicing psychiatrist David Lischner, M.D, who created the system to streamline burdensome administrative tasks, increase the productivity of providers and billers, and allow staff to focus more on patient care. “We have essentially grown by nearly 800% over the past five years.”
Valant is fast establishing itself as the market leader in private practice behavioral health care.
“Our unique platform speaks to this industry,” adds Dr. Lischner. “The combination of service-enabled web tools and back-office services is the future of health care administration for solo and small group practices in all of medicine. However, psychiatry is particularly well suited for this model, since so many of us have practices that cannot support large office staffs and computer systems.”
To accommodate user demand, the Valant team will not only be adding to various departments, including Engineering, Development, Support, and Sales, but also investing in automation of onboarding times and programs to increase product proficiency amongst loyal customers.
These developments and more will simply continue to reinforce Valant’s mission to provide a solution that combines the best of new technology with old fashioned customer service.
