That has been Robert Bartelt’s philosophy since he entered the behavioral healthcare field nearly four decades ago. And that is why he developed the Paradigm Software© system.

As Vice President of Silver Springs - Martin Luther School, he has always understood that audits, cost-cutting and compliance have forced providers to work in overdrive to stay focused on what is really important—the child.

Keeping the child in mind, Bartelt and a team of skilled clinicians and technology experts, developed software that would assist therapists in facilitating their day-to-day paperwork requirements, and help agencies to stay within and exceed compliance expectations, in a very cost-efficient manner.

Begun in 1982, Paradigm© by Progressive Outcomes™ has evolved into the mature product that it is today. It has been field tested every day since its first implementation, by real therapists that require real results. As a result, the software has been regularly upgraded to meet the changing requirements of regulators and the growing needs of skilled professionals.

Paradigm manages reports, billing and audits, electronically secures case notes and other important documentation, and significantly reduces clerical costs.

So who can benefit from Paradigm? Executive officers, financial officers, clinical directors and therapists, but most of all, the children who we nurture—the ones who depend on us and who deserve nothing less than the finest care we can provide.
