Finally found a solution
Unlike our past EHR system and many others we reviewed, Lightning Step seems to have been created to streamline the documentation and QA process. For example, users are notified if documents aren't signed or if Treatment Plan Reviews become overdue. Supervisors can review departmental documentation adherence in one simple dashboard view. Along with that, the documentation customization options are more extensive than other programs we considered switching to. Another great benefit is that their e-prescribing system is integrated within the platform, and does NOT use Dr. First, which our organization and all of our providers are not fans of. Our prescribe time was cut in half for each prescription.On the cost end, they offered a per-user option verse an average client census fee, which set them apart from many others.A final selling point is their robust reporting system, which can be automated to output custom reports on a routine basis - which cuts down on manual efforts to ensure compliance and review practice KPIs.
CONSThe mobile ability is limited, as it is for most systems reviewed, but as that does not effect our ease of use, it was not a factor. However, for some other practice set-ups, it may need to be taken into consideration.
Reason for choosing Lightning Step
Lightning Step was the only system that solved all our pain points while still falling into an acceptable price point for our practice.
Reasons for switching to Lightning Step
We reviewed 5 other highly rated EHR systems before making the switch, all of which had some of the benefits of Lightning Step. However, none of them had ALL of the benefits - especially at this price point. The dedicated support staff has been great to work with and we expect to realize an actual savings of appx. 180 man hours per month that used to go to manual QA, regulatory compliance checks and monitoring KPIs - all of which are now down automatically through Lightning Step.

No EMR is perfect, but LS does ALOT of things right!
Our relationship has been a rollercoaster, but as we have grown as an organization, so has LS. They have been there to support us as we open new locations and programs. Their team is great to work with and will do every thing in their power to help your organization utilize the platform to improve your organizations processes.
PROSThe AR Aging dashboard has streamlined collection efforts. Our billing team can work in one place without having to hunt down people for anwers.
CONSThe client invoicing module needs work. It is great for facilities with smaller census, but becomes laborious for facilities with larger operations. However, for our industry, it is good enough to be compliant with insurance companies.
Reason for choosing Lightning Step
We chose LS for 3 reasons. One is that LS is truly a single sign on for EMR and RCM. The second is that LS API is stable, allowing us to update our data warehouse and build out reporting specific to our operations. Lastly, during the 1st LS demo, I pointed out something that didn't make sense. During the next demo, that thing had been updated. No platform is perfect, but having a dev team eager to solve and improve the platform is crucial to adapting with our operations as our business evolves.
Reasons for switching to Lightning Step
We needed an integrated system that could handle both RCM and EMR in one place, while also providing a team that could quickly problem solve any issues that arise.

Gets the job done
I used it to handle all of our needs and for the most part it was effective. I had to learn how to navigate it so i was efficient but once i learned it, it was pretty basic.
PROSOnce you learn the system it will get everything done you needed. It takes some time to learn how to navigate but it is efficient and effective. I would use it again with no issues. It is just not my first choice.
CONSLighting steps was glitchy and did not have very many security features.
Reason for choosing Lightning Step
Sorry i was not a participant in that part of the process

Best EMR for SUD/MH
I’ve had an excellent overall experience. They have been critical in our company’s success.
PROSIt’s extremely user friendly. Easy for new hires to learn. The support staff are the most knowledgeable and responsive EMR staff I’ve ever come across.
CONSI really haven’t had any complaints. All EMR’s glitch and have issues m. This happens rarely with Lightning Step but when it does the issues are resolved quickly. Like usually within 30 minutes.
