How Electronic Visit Verification Impacts Providers

Hannah Patterson, vice president and general manager, Netsmart
Joe Marte, client alignment executive, Netsmart.

A federal mandate called the 21st Century Cures Act required providers to comply with electronic visit verification (EVV) by January 1, 2021. That date has come and gone, and some providers are still concerned about what EVV holds for them.

In this episode of Netsmart CareThreads, Hannah Patterson, vice president and general manager at Netsmart, talked with Joe Marte, a client alignment executive with Netsmart.

Joe spent time as a provider himself before becoming vice president for business development at TELLUS. After Netsmart acquired TELLUS, Joe brought his understanding of EVV to us.

Here's what Hannah and Joe discussed on this episode:

What EVV is and who it impacts
The mandate's silver lining for providers
Why provider staff members often love the EVV mandate

This discussion with Joe Marte was taken from our show Netsmart Care Threads.

The past several years have seen accelerated technology application for healthcare organizations across the continuum of care, but this trend hasn’t always been the case. The origins of healthcare IT adoption for providers stemmed from the financial compliance era for electronic health records (EHRs). Historically, behavioral health providers across the country had been slower to adopt healthcare IT in comparison to other care settings; but the shift of bringing consumers and clinicians to the technology table has driven rapid innovation and development of solutions and services.
