The comprehensive electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) suite is used by all types of mental and behavioral health organizations, including substance abuse providers, psychiatric hospitals, community mental health centers, methadone clinics, private practice, managed care organizations, and state mental health systems. The system is used in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Avatar Suite is 2011/2012 ONC-ATCB certified.

Netsmart Avatar Suite is a comprehensive, fully-integrated suite that manages all aspects of behavioral health care. The system is offered with more than 20 modules that cover patient records, treatment plans, progress notes, billing, scheduling, financial reporting, pharmacy management, e-prescribing, document management, workflow automation, order entry, and other functions. The system is available as either an on-premise or web-based application, providing customers the flexibility of installing the program on their own servers or accessing it remotely over the web.

Due to its size and comprehensiveness, we typically recommend Netsmart Avatar Suite to organizations with more than 10 providers, 50 employees, and 20 software users. The program is scalable and is in use by clinics with hundreds of providers providing care in multiple locations. Netsmart’s “Connected Care” approach enables providers to share and collaborate on patient information. The system is also Health Information Exchange (HIE) ready.

Netsmart has more than 18,000 customers and takes a very progressive approach to development of Avatar Suite, becoming the first behavioral health software system to earn Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) certification in 2006.
