Valant Scheduling is a core, fully integrated feature within the Valant Behavioral Health EHR (Electronic Health Record) and Practice Management suite, designed specifically for psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and counselors in solo and group practices. It is not a standalone product but a command center for managing the entire practice workflow.
Key Features and Capabilities
