Features
This catalog describes product capabilities by workflow so each audience can find what matters to them. Availability can vary by environment, organization configuration, licensed integrations, and rollout phase; the approved implementation scope governs.
1. Client Intake & Chart
Everything needed to bring a client in and maintain an accurate, complete chart.
- Quick Intake — fast client creation with staged demographic, contact, insurance, consent, and clinical-profile capture.
- Demographics & identity — contact info, insurance, consents, guardian details, and patient alerts.
- Client alerts — surfacing safety and operational flags at the point of care.
- Clinical profile — persistent clinical context shared across encounters and notes.
2. Clinical Documentation
Narrative-first documentation designed to support an organization's COMAR, CARF, and HIPAA workflows. Product configuration and use do not independently establish compliance or accreditation.
- Progress notes — narrative-first notes with section structure aligned to medical-necessity and skilled-intervention requirements.
- Signatures & amendments — signed notes with a documented amendment path and deficiency tracking.
- Encounters — full encounter lifecycle with a state-transition audit trail.
- Care coordination — coordination notes and attachments across the treatment team.
- Clinical measurements — structured observations and vitals alongside narrative.
3. Assessments & Screening
Structured, standardized clinical instruments available at intake and reassessment.
- ASAM Criteria — multidimensional assessment with level-of-care recommendations.
- Withdrawal & detox instruments — CIWA and COWS scoring.
- Behavioral health measures — PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, DAST, AUDIT, WHO-5, and more.
- Biomedical & readiness assessments — biomedical conditions/medications and readiness-to-change capture.
- Standardized assessment engine — reusable form/assessment definitions with responses and scoring.
4. Treatment Planning
- Treatment plans — problems, goals, objectives, and interventions with signatures and review cycles.
- Outcome measures — defined outcome measures tracked per patient.
- Plan-to-note linkage — notes can reference plan goals/interventions for continuity and audit defensibility.
5. Medications & MAT

- MAT operations — workflows for Medication-Assisted Treatment programs.
6. Programs, Enrollment & Discharge
- Program management — define programs (OP/IOP/PRP) with eligibility policies.
- Enrollment & authorizations — program enrollment, service authorizations, and status history.
- Episodes & discharge planning — patient episodes, discharge plans, and closure records.

7. PRP (Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program)
Purpose-built module for PRP operations:
- Referrals & screening — intake referrals and PRP screenings.

8. AI-Assisted Documentation
- AI note drafting — generate clinical drafts from session context, with prompts and templates the organization controls.
- Quick prompts — reusable, org-scoped prompt shortcuts.
- Voice-to-Note — audio is streamed to the configured speech-recognition service for transient processing; ACS EHR does not retain the raw audio as part of the designated record. Only text reviewed and inserted by the user enters the note.
- AI audit — generation events are captured in the audit trail with a defined retention policy.
Note: AI output is a draft. Clinicians review, correct, and sign before it becomes part of the record.

- Claim scrubbing — pre-submission validation to catch errors before they reach the clearinghouse.
- Claims — claim creation, submission, and status tracking (X12/CMS-1500).
- Clearinghouse integration — submission and status workflows for configured clearinghouse connections. Availability depends on implementation scope and vendor agreements.
- Denial management — denial capture, codes, notes, tasks, and pattern analysis.
