I had the pleasure of a personal demo presented by Catherine Tronnes, a Client Relations Specialist at Valley Hope – IMCSS, the company behind iAC/ESS which stands for Integrated Administrative, Clinical/Enterprise Software System.  This system was developed for a residential chemical dependency treatment program and they are now hoping to branch out to offer it to other providers.  If you’re operating a program that is similar to that of Valley Hope, iAC/ESS is definitely something to look into.  It offers a nice array of features for that environment, including a separation of functional modules so that each department of an agency/treatment center can focus on just their tasks (i.e. accounting, scheduling, treatment, etc.)  However, iAC/ESS has a good way to go before their model can translate well for people in general private practice or similar business models.
