ABA scheduling can be unnecessarily difficult. With the rise of diagnoses of autism and other behavioral disorders in children, ABA clinics are under pressure. They must keep up with demand. Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapy can make a considerable difference in children’s lives.
ABA clinics can have a positive impact, particularly if we recognize autism early. The problem is those behavioral health clinics have too many tasks. Luckily, behavioral health automated intake can solve that problem.
ABA therapists are often the ones running their clinics. This means they are busy with in-person therapy and record keeping. Thus, potential clients sit on waitlists for weeks or months before getting a session.
Even when you do hire an administrative assistant, staff can feel overwhelmed by tasks. They may not have the appropriate ABA information to engage in behavioral health intake.
The current process in most ABA clinics is inefficient because technology hasn’t caught up to demand. More children need more clinicians, but they wait too long to see someone.
The frustrations with manually entering intake forms and scheduling appointments are many:
Automated behavioral health intake streamlines the entire process. It optimizes client intake, employee onboarding, and paperwork. It also saves you the hassle of data entry errors.
This leaves ABA clinicians free to do what they do best. They can help people diagnosed with autism and other behavioral disorders.
When designed properly, behavioral health clinic software solves problems. It is the automated answer to many of the everyday stresses within an ABA clinic. It provides ABA therapists with the support they need to do their jobs well.
By automating client intake, clinics can get all the information they need from new clients. They can also respond to client calls and emails more quickly. Automated intake means they’re not bogged down in paperwork.
Even better, many of those calls and emails likely won’t even come in. Why? Because the intake process is so seamless. You won’t be fielding messages of frustration.
Automated intake for ABA therapy ensures all forms you send out follow HIPAA regulations. So you’ll never fall out of compliance. This is operational efficiency at its finest.
Finally, an automated behavioral health intake will improve client satisfaction. As more people become familiar with using technology, they expect to fill out intake forms online. Optimizing your intake process by taking it online will reveal your clinic to be modern and serious.
Your clients will get a seamless, predictable experience every time. If they have questions that require humans, your staff will be more ready to respond.
Automation is no longer the future. It is the present, and this rule absolutely applies to ABA therapy.
ABA Engine is the only automated intake software designed specifically for behavioral health clinics. While other software may suit other medical environments, ABA Engine is specific to behavioral health clinics.
ABA Engine founder Erica Kinnebrew has a background in ABA therapy and has worked with numerous ABA clinics.
She has firsthand experience with the various struggles within ABA clinics for employees, clinicians, and clients. This experience helped her design ABA Engine to meet real needs.
Here is a list of our best features:
ABA engine offers optimized scheduling for new clients. This feature ensures clients meet with therapists who have knowledge and experience specific to their needs. It also aligns clients and patients located nearby. Therapists will have less travel time, and clients will have less wait time. The result is an increase in both client and clinician satisfaction. ABA Engine will also send out reminders to your clients, which will greatly reduce missed and canceled appointments. You’ll save time and money.
With ABA Engine’s form builder feature, you can customize your clinic’s forms to capture precise data while keeping it secure. This ensures HIPAA compliance, giving you the necessary information to provide the best support for your clients.
The communication platform on ABA Engine helps clients stay in touch with your clinic without you having to keep 24/7 staff. This platform provides a seamless, Slack-like experience for your clinic, allowing for real-time messaging with clients and staff. You can easily send group messages to teams. Also, with built-in language translation, clients and staff understand each other. This quick reaction time ensures client fulfillment and saves your clinic a ton of money in staffing.
Another feature that will save you money is the automation of repeating admin tasks. Like appointment reminders, many tasks are repetitive and easy to predict. This means you can save your administrators time and energy. Your people will be available to address concerns and issues where necessary. Your clients will be happy, feeling heard and engaged.
Finally, with a visual dashboard and project manager, your staff and clinicians can remain on the same page throughout your clients’ journeys. Everyone involved in a patient's care will be able to see each client's stage. You can see what information they still need from them for intake, which therapists they work with, and more. You should never have to deal with crossed wires again.
