Create Professional, Compliant Clinical Notes for your Mental Health Practice

When asked, more than 40% of clinicians say completing clinical documentation is their biggest source of work stress. Administrative demands like clinical notes eat up time you would rather spend with patients – or with family!

By speeding up the process with built-for-behavioral health notetaking, you reduce note completion stress and protect your revenue.

Imagine this…

  • No more wrestling with cumbersome notes after a long day of sessions.
    Expedite your documentation process by weaving in pre-built content from macro libraries and generating narratives from patient-reported outcome measures or preconfigured worksheets.
  • No more starting from scratch with each note.
    Pull in relevant data from the previous note, chart data (such as diagnoses, medications, and allergies), and clinical history to focus your documentation efforts.
  • No more worrying about passing documentation audits.
    Populate billing information, such as CPT code, appointment time, provider name, provider-specific for all diagnoses, and appointment duration, formatted to meet payer requirements.

Be the final author of each note, where you can add details, edit narratives, or change the CPT code as you need before signing.

  • Get professional notes that are thorough, consistent, and easy-to-digest.
  • Create confidence in your collaborating and referring providers.
  • Feel prepared for court orders or audits.
  • Protect your practice with consistent, compliant documentation.

More Patients, Less Paperwork: One Valant Clinician’s Journey to Easier Clinical Documentation

You’re a clinician, not a scribe. Like Valant clinician Jonathan Woods, you can take the mental load out of documentation and focus your efforts on what you want to do. “I don’t think about [documentation] very much,” says Woods, “which is my favorite aspect about Valant.”

Choose from 100+ clinical sections built in conjunction with the top behavioral health clinical advisors for each area of expertise (i.e. CBT, DBT, eating and weight disorders, marriage and family therapy, child and adolescent, etc.).

Outcome Measures That Work For You

Manual review and summary of outcome measure data can be a thing of the past. Focus your clinical efforts by automating this process.

Here’s how it works in Valant:

  • Assign clinical questionnaires, rating scales, and outcome measures to your patients before their visit through the secure MYIO Patient Portal.
  • Once they complete the measures, Valant automatically scores the data and inserts it directly into your clinician’s note, along with a clinically relevant narrative.

Stay Present, Stay Focused: Streamline Your Documentation with Valant

Discreetly complete your note in real-time from a mobile device or tablet. Document individual, family, or group sessions without losing focus on your clients through quick check boxes and automated narratives. Stay fully present with your patients while capturing all the essential details.

The clinical templates are clearly designed for me. Efficiency is a big deal for me and Valant helps me improve efficiency every day.

Deann L.Owner and Psychiatrist

What we like best about the product is that our clinicians love the product and as a result they have embraced our new EMR. This allows the practice to focus on healthcare rather than operations, which was our primary goal in choosing a new system.
