Mental Healthcare Industry Clients Name the Top-Rated Behavioral Health Software and Services Solutions, Black Book™ 2021 Survey

TAMPA, Fla., April 1, 2021 (Newswire.com) -  Black Book Market Research LLC received survey responses from 2,420 behavioral health clinicians and professionals from 2,281 provider sites to determine the vendors outperforming in client satisfaction and user experience in the evolving mental healthcare IT niche.

A growing mix of 137 vendors offering behavioral health support services, core products and solutions, software, consulting and outsourcing received user feedback including large IT companies, mid and small vendors, and startups in the polling period Q4 2020 to Q1 2021. 

"Most mental healthcare practitioners and administrators have no choice but to leverage next-generation system tools and solutions in order to stay solvent and improve provider connectivity to successfully enter the transition phases of value-based care," said Doug Brown, President of Black Book™. "The threat landscape in mental healthcare has also become fertile ground for malware, ransomware, breached medical records and patient privacy, phishing expeditions and cyberattacks with the COVID-era adoption of telementalhealth and remote patient monitoring in particular."

"Given the complexities of each individual health system and physician organization, implementing the right behavioral health software and solutions in delicate sequence is crucial as to not create an even more adverse situation through the transition," said Brown.

The pandemic has also generated a tremendous amount of patient medical data stored by local, state and federal government agencies, consumer-collected mental health data,  telehealth visits, as well as inpatient provider organizations which has seen an increase in malicious IT attacks permitted through less-secure technologies and interoperability connections."
