At Valant, our mission has always been clear: to provide technology and services that connect behavioral health patients and providers, when and how they need care, with tools that improve outcomes for all. A core part of our mission is protecting the sensitive information entrusted to us by both providers and patients.
That’s why we’re proud to share that Valant has achieved HITRUST i1 Certification, a gold standard in data security for healthcare organizations.
What This Means for You as a Provider
Behavioral health providers face unique challenges when it comes to safeguarding patient data. Clinical notes, treatment histories, and billing information are among the most sensitive records in healthcare. With HITRUST i1 Certification, Valant is validated against industry-leading security practices that defend against today’s most pressing cybersecurity threats.
In practical terms, this certification provides assurance that:
- Your patients’ data is safe – protected with rigorous, tested security controls.
- Compliance risks are reduced – supporting your ability to meet HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.
- You can focus on care, not IT worries – knowing your EHR partner is committed to best-in-class security standards.
Why It Matters in Behavioral Health
Trust is at the heart of every therapeutic relationship. Providers can’t deliver their best care unless patients feel confident their personal information is safe. By achieving HITRUST i1 Certification, Valant reaffirms our commitment to supporting not just your practice growth and efficiency—but also the integrity of the provider–patient bond.
As James Jay, CTO of Valant, shares: “HITRUST i1 certification is more than a compliance benchmark – it is a clear signal of the trust and security we bring to every customer relationship. At Valant, protecting sensitive health information is core to our mission, and this certification ensures that our platform and business practices meet the highest standards of security and reliability.”
Continuing Our Commitment
Cybersecurity threats evolve, but so does Valant’s commitment to protecting your data. HITRUST i1 Certification is an important milestone, but it’s also part of our ongoing promise to maintain the highest standards of trust, security, and care.
With Valant, you can trust that your EHR partner is equally committed to safeguarding what matters most—so you can focus on putting growth into practice.
Total Cost of Ownership for Your Behavioral Health EHR
Choosing the right EHR is crucial for organizational leaders in behavioral healthcare, but it’s not just about the initial cost. Total cost of ownership (TCO) can be difficult to quantify due to the complex nature of technology, regulation, providers, and processes involved.
