Speed Your Process With Efficient Workflows

Running an IOP/PHP program involves managing scheduling, attendance, authorizations, billing, and documentation, all while delivering care. Valant brings these tasks into one connected system, reducing administrative burden and giving staff the time and focus to be fully present with patients. By bringing these workflows into a single, intensive outpatient program EHR, teams reduce administrative burden, improve coordination across clinicians, and maintain consistency as programs grow.

Focus Your Efforts With a Compliant Solution

Audits do not have to cause stress. Valant embeds compliance support into everyday workflows by helping teams track authorizations, standardize documentation, and reduce preventable claims errors. Providers can approach audits with more confidence, knowing key requirements are addressed and records are easier to retrieve. This includes commonly required documentation and reporting to support level of care changes, utilization reviews, and payer or state audits.

Track Progress and Grow With Confidence

IOP and PHP patients are at a vulnerable stage in care, which makes consistency and engagement critical. Valant helps teams track group attendance, monitor engagement, and connect clinical notes across levels of care, supporting continuity across IOP and PHP. With integrated tracking for attendance, engagement, and utilization, teams can spot participation trends earlier, support utilization management, and back payer conversations with clearer documentation—all while maintaining quality and consistency as programs scale.
