Simple Fractal

Automate regional center billing and other manual processes.
Simple Fractal automates repetitive processes by implementing robotic process automation (RPA) “bots.” By automating manual, error-prone chores, providers control costs, generate revenue, position themselves to scale, as well as improve employee satisfaction and retention.
In addition to many other use-cases, our bots are autonomously performing the regional center eBilling process. Bots can capture billable service data from your EHR, service documentation or other internal systems and login to the eBilling portal to submit claims. Additionally, they capture payment data directly from the portal or remittance files for automated posting to your EHR. Exceptions are submitted to your staff for review, although our bots currently handle 99.5% autonomously.
In addition to billing, our bots are automating processes around intake, integrating closed systems, compliance, scheduling, reporting, notifications and much more. Learn why we do what we do.

Therap

Since 2003, Therap has made it our mission to equip agencies within the CDSA family, with the tools they need to focus on meaningful outcomes for the individuals they support. This passion stems from our decades of experience as providers, administrators and state employees. Appreciating the challenges and rewards of quality service provision drives the development of our comprehensive suite of tools.

Therap continues to evolve to meet the ever-diversifying needs of our users. Our goal is to help our users create efficiencies, streamline processes, securely connect people, and integrate all aspects of service delivery, while maintaining a focus on individuals and the stakeholders who support them. Furthermore, our system is supported by a world class security infrastructure that exemplifies our perpetual commitment to data integrity and security. This dedication has led us to become the industry leader, supporting hundreds of organizations in California over the last 15 years.

The BI Collaborative

The BI Collaborative helps Human Service Providers become better Data-Driven Organizations. “Data-driven organizations are 30% more likely to reach their goals, 6% more profitable and have a 173% advantage in efficiently complying with regulations,” according to research from McKinsey, Aberdeen & Forrester.

We automate 95% of the manual efforts today of pulling, organizing and reporting data from siloed systems (including excel spreadsheets). Our Business Intelligence Platform was built specifically for Human Service Providers and work only in this industry so we live your challenges daily through our clients. Our leadership advised Hospitals in their transition to Value-Based Reimbursement and our Quality Modules (Incident Management, Citation Management, HRST & Health Tracking) create competitive advantage for those competing in Value Based Reimbursement markets.
