A league of it's own for ABA businesses
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Central Reach is our primary platform for across the organization. It is highly comprehensive, and we now incorporate aspects of it for data collection, file management, billing supports, payment supports, HR supports, scheduling, continuing education, learner management, and business analytics. They grow and address additional needs within the ABA field on an ongoing basis, and we have found that we have gone from around twelve different platforms to meet various business-related needs across departments to now just three or four, and Central Reach continues to expand what they offer and integrate their offering in with one another for a more seamless business flow.
Pros
- Clients: Data collection, template forms, file management, EVV capatability
- Billing: Session notes and audit supports, billing, accounts receivables, analytical reports
- Admin: Scheduling, Task Management, PTO requests, messaging
Cons
- PTO feature isn't too user friendly
- Payroll feature we find better served through outside resources
- It's extremely comprehensive and takes quite a while to learn how to use it fluently and work with it in a way that it functions best
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
