The Product - Developed by Clinicians, for Clinicians

Paradigm Software© has been developed to help organizations that provide treatment services to children, families and individuals and who manage the information required by funding sources, accrediting bodies and regulatory oversight agencies. The major components in Paradigm provide for:

Management of demographic information on individuals served (referral, admission and discharge)
Comprehensive bio-psychosocial evaluation development
Assistance with goal writing and treatment plan development utilizing Clinical Pathways©
Progress notes with electronic record capability via digital signatures and the latest certificate management systems
Critical incident monitoring and reporting
Outcome reporting on the impact of services
Visitation tracking and monitoring (for residential and foster family care services)
Automated management reports on staff’s compliance with documentation and reporting requirements
Authorization tracking related to funding and reporting expectations
HIPAA compliant electronic billing capability
Comprehensive report development integrated with Microsoft Office Suite©

Organizations that provide treatment services to children, families or adults and depend on governmental or third party liability sources for funding are pressed to be accountable. The outcomes and documentation of services billed to comply with new federal expectations become the priority second only to the quality of services performed. Paradigm Software© was designed by individuals who provide clinical services to children and their families in a JCAHO accredited organization and has been extensively tested in the real world of service delivery.

The Digital Signature Process Sets Paradigm© Apart

Digital signatures allow healthcare agencies to move toward a paperless way of doing business, while helping them maintain the compliance required by state and federal regulatory bodies, by replacing signed paper documents with electronic records. The Progressive Outcomes™ digital signature process has been recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare as a legal alternative to signed paper progress notes.

Digital signatures are especially useful to agencies that want to replace overstuffed file cabinets with an efficient and secure electronic recordkeeping system. Many organizations find themselves burdened with storing, tracking and retrieving signed legal documents to comply with regulatory mandates. Paradigm’s digital signature process relieves them of that burden.

How Paradigm Digital Signature Process Works

Once a document is digitally signed, it is stored in a secure data warehouse on the agency’s internal network. And because networks are regularly backed up, it is also stored on tape or other digital media in secure, fireproof locations.
