Mental Health Technologies’ SmarTest platform offers a cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant solution that automates the entire behavioral health screening process
South Jordan, Utah, September 12, 2024 – AdvancedMD, a provider of cloud-based healthcare software for independent medical practices, today announced the addition of Mental Health Technologies (MHT) to its integration partner marketplace. The partnership will enable AdvancedMD customers to easily integrate the MHT’s SmarTest platform into the AdvancedMD practice management, EHR, and patient engagement solution, delivering cutting-edge technology that automates the entire behavioral health screening and referral process.
Once integrated, the SmarTest platform allows private practices to customize their behavioral health screening processes based on various details, including appointment type, age, gender, past assessment results, and other important criteria.
According to a recent industry report, nearly 40% of primary care providers surveyed said they are screening patients for behavioral health conditions, even though only 20% report that they are incentivized for behavioral health screenings. The bulk of healthcare providers surveyed said that the increase in screenings is the result of more patients presenting behavioral health concerns. As more primary care providers expand their services to include behavioral healthcare, it’s imperative that healthcare providers have the right tools in place to support their patients’ mental healthcare needs.
“The AdvancedMD team has been awesome to work with!” said Doug Robinso, VP of Business, MHT. “We are excited for this partnership to provide a valuable tool to screen for behavioral health concerns without adding additional work for administrative staff by integrating SmarTest® technology directly to AdvancedMD.”
With the integration of the MHT SmarTest platform, healthcare providers gain access to intuitive behavioral health screening and referral tools that help minimize the administrative burdens. MHT’s patented SmarTest technology automates the referral process and proactively identifies high-risk patients. It also helps generate more revenue through add-on CPT codes and additional ancillary services. Healthcare providers can quickly refer patients to behavioral health and specialty providers that best fit the patient’s needs while also being able to objectively track patient progress over time.
“Offering behavioral healthcare is becoming increasingly more important to primary care providers. It’s the reason we prioritize things like telehealth capabilities and EHR features that make it easy for mental health care providers to diagnose and treat their patients,” said Tim Costantino, VP and Head of Product, AdvancedMD. “As a leading provider of medical office software for independent practices, we know just how crucial behavioral health technology solutions are to building effective and efficient workflows that support all facets of the business—especially when it comes to managing mental health care screening and referral processes. Adding Mental Health Technologies’ SmarTest platform to our integration marketplace is just one more way we’re supporting our community of independent healthcare providers.”
