Funds will Enable Valant to Bring its EHR and Billing Platform to the Public Behavioral Health Market.
SEATTLE, Washington., July 16, 2014 – Valant Medical Solutions®, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based, electronic health records (EHR) and e-billing software for behavioral health practices, today announced that it has received an additional $11 Million in private equity investment which will enable Valant to fund future growth in the behavioral health market segment and to broaden its EHR and e-Billing suite capabilities for Public Behavioral Health practices.
“This investment validates our vision of transforming the quality of behavioral health services through clinician-focused software tools,” said David Lischner, MD, CEO and founder of Valant. “As we look towards future growth, this additional funding better positions Valant to help behavioral health practitioners objectively evaluate the results of their treatments with the goal of providing a higher quality-of-care for their patients.”
Valant has been the leading EHR vendor for private behavioral health practices since 2012 and currently supports 5,000 users in private practice across the U.S., including six public behavioral health practices that have chosen Valant because of its clinician focused tools.
“Since our founding in 2005 Valant’s EHR has been very well received by providers in a private, ambulatory care setting,” explains Ryan Donahue, vice president of engineering and product development. “This investment enables us to speed up the development of key features that providers in public behavioral health settings require to comply with their local and state reporting requirements.”
Valant will be doubling its development staff and hiring in all departments through the end of 2014.
