HerdmanHealth is a cloud-based assessment platform designed for behavioral health professionals, including counselors, private practices, and large agencies, to streamline the clinical assessment and documentation process. The platform is powered by the innovative Herdman Assessment Form (HAF), which intuitively organizes patient history and is specifically tailored for substance use disorder, mental health, and co-occurring evaluations for both adults and adolescents.
The core value proposition of HerdmanHealth is its ability to save counselors significant time—up to 1 to 2 hours per assessment—by automating key parts of the workflow. Clients can complete the history section of the HAF remotely via a secure link prior to their in-person or telehealth appointment. This eliminates the need for counselors to manually enter routine background questions.
Once the assessment is complete, the software instantly generates a high-quality, 4–6 page narrative report, eliminating hours of writing and formatting. Furthermore, based on the patient's “Problem List,” the system can instantly download a pre-filled Treatment Plan in Microsoft Word format, which is ready for the clinician to use or customize.
Key Features and Capabilities:
- Automated Documentation: Instantly generates a comprehensive 4-6 page narrative report.
