Organizations across the behavioral health continuum partner with WellSky, a proven and committed partner for behavioral health success
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WellSky, a leading health and community care technology and services company, today announced continued momentum across its behavioral health portfolio, marking a series of new and deepened client relationships that reflect the company’s growing presence across the behavioral health continuum. WellSky welcomes Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare and the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals (BHDDH) and recognizes its long-standing partner Oceans Healthcare for demonstrated outcomes across behavioral health, one of the most clinically complex care environments.
Oceans Healthcare operates inpatient and outpatient behavioral health facilities across nine states and serves adolescent, adult and geriatric mental health needs. WellSky has supported Oceans’ clinical and operational infrastructure over an extended partnership of nearly twenty years, providing the documentation, revenue cycle, and care coordination foundation that complex, multi-program behavioral health providers depend on.
Oceans is growing and most recently added ten additional locations to the WellSky Specialty Care solution to now have over forty facilities live with WellSky. As a beta partner of WellSky Premium Reporting, Oceans supported WellSky in offering clients faster, clearer insights on patient care and discharge administration metrics.
“Working with WellSky across our inpatient and outpatient programs has given us the ability to implement best practices across Oceans and scale with our patient needs. Our mission has always been to deliver compassionate, high-quality care and WellSky gives us the technology foundation to do that consistently,” said Stuart Archer, CEO of Oceans Healthcare.
WellSky is partnering with Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare, one of the nation’s leading behavioral healthcare organizations, providing specialized treatment for mental health disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders across a comprehensive continuum of care. Odyssey operates more than 65 locations across 12 states, offering evidence-based services including medical detoxification, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and virtual IOP. The organization’s portfolio of integrated specialty programs and levels of care requires a technology partner capable of supporting complex clinical, operational, and revenue-cycle needs.
“Behavioral health carries operational and clinical demands that general healthcare technology often overlooks,” said Chad Luttrell, chief information officer at Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare. “WellSky understands those demands and has committed to evolving its platform alongside our organization as we grow. That willingness to refine the user experience with us is what makes them the right long-term partner for our work.”
Rhode Island BHDDH is a state behavioral health authority responsible for overseeing the state psychiatric hospital, long-term acute care hospital (LTACH), intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) services, mental health programming, and substance use services across Rhode Island. The agency’s partnership with WellSky represents a statewide deployment that goes beyond individual providers, bringing WellSky into a systems-level role supporting the oversight, reporting, and coordination requirements.
“Rhode Island State Psychiatric Hospital (RISPH) is excited to partner with WellSky on the implementation of our new electronic medical record system,” said Irina Beyder, PhD MBA LCMFT, chief executive officer, Rhode Island State Psychiatric Hospital. “The kickoff demonstrated a strong commitment, collaboration, and expertise from the WellSky team, giving us confidence that this partnership will support our mission to enhance care delivery, improve operational efficiency, and better serve the individuals and communities who rely on Rhode Island’s behavioral health system. We look forward to the work ahead and the positive impact this implementation will have across our continuum of care.”
“Behavioral health is one of the most underserved and underinvested areas in our healthcare system, and the people who need these services deserve providers that have the tools to deliver care without the friction of inadequate technology,” said Bill Miller, chairman and chief executive officer of WellSky. “Our partnerships reflect WellSky’s commitment to being a platform that works across the full spectrum of behavioral health care. We are building for the long term in this space, and these relationships are evidence of that.”
WellSky partners with organizations to power the clinical, operational, and reporting needs that define each level of care including inpatient and outpatient settings such as PHP, IOP, SUD, residential and state-level programs.
