CentralReach

CentralReach is a great practice management software for companies large or small. It is best suited for healthcare agencies that provide ABA therapy but can be used by practices that provide Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, or Mental Health services. The software allows full integration across multiple departments and is very customizable to your PMS needs.

For an organization providing ABA service, there really is nobody else that even provides a remotely comparable service. It does have limitations and areas of the system that take more training or are less intuitive than one might hope, but their customer support representatives are generally really helpful and they are pretty quick to make updates to better serve their clients. They are incredible at finding efficient ways to reduce workflow, and while the product can be quite pricey, we have found that it has saved us at least 2 FT admin positions through the efficiency it has created and further frees up our clinicians so that they can focus in more on client outcomes. It's instrumental in our ability to scale our operations across locations. Even with its limitations, it's proven to be in a class of its own in the ABA world.

The system as well suited specifically for applied behavior analysis services. It’s very focused on that therapy and what they users would need. We’ve also used it to integrate our speech therapy so that it is more data driven like our ABA therapy.

It is one of the most widely used in the ABA industry and that is why we use it but there is definitely an opportunity for a better product. Scheduling module has limitations and is not efficient. The App is horrible!! An employee must use the App and web login to convert timestamps which is not efficient and many employees forget to do this. The App also crashes and freezes often, they would be better off with no App. Both the messaging in CentralReach and the ReachMe instant chat are awful. The instant chat has a delay of anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes, it's not instant at all.

It was really good in the beginning and during implementation, now that they have been bought and are scaling support is lacking.
