Their customer service is great is you have a support member assigned to you. If not, you have access to customize and troubleshot as a super admin, and it is user friendly to be able to use.

Pros

That it is so customizable. If you are a super admin, you can create templates however you would like, specific to each area, and can be used for numerous disciplines.

Cons

It can feel a little clunky to use, which takes additional time when charting. However you can use check box options to get around this.

Kipu is a secure software to use and one that keeps you updated. It has many options so you are not stranded.

Pros

I’ve been using Kipu for our behavioral health documentation, and overall it has been a positive experience. The system is designed specifically for addiction and mental health treatment, which makes charting and treatment planning more straightforward compared to general EHR platforms. I appreciate the structured templates and the ability to customize notes to fit our workflow.

Cons

There was a bit of a learning curve at first, but once the team became familiar with it, documentation became more efficient. It has helped us stay organized and maintain compliance. While no system is perfect, Kipu has been a reliable solution for our needs.

Pretty useful for keeping everything easy to access. Still has bugs that need worked out. From what I've seen it is the best out there for what we need as a company.

Pros

User friendly. A lot of options to keep everything organized. Very good about selecting whom has access to what. Live how it saves every time I input something.

Cons

Bugs. At least a couple times a week it lags really bad. Randomly it will fail to open files. Closes out of nowhere from time to time.

As a small behavioral health practice managing multiple clinical and pseudo-clinical roles for approximately 400 patients, Kipu provided valuable tools in billing and customization that supported our operational needs. However, the lack of intuitive task management and integration features often complicated daily workflows, requiring workarounds that reduced efficiency. The treatment plan module was particularly underutilized due to its complexity. Overall, while the system has targeted strengths, the escalating costs proved unsustainable, prompting us to evaluate alternatives despite the initial benefits in specific areas.

Pros

Robust Billing Sweeps: Kipu excels in its billing sweeps feature, which streamlines the process of identifying and processing outstanding claims, making revenue cycle management more efficient for behavioral health practices. Extensive Customization Options: The platform allows for nearly limitless customization of the instance and documents, enabling practices to tailor workflows, forms, and interfaces to specific needs without significant limitations.

Cons

Absence of a Dedicated To-Do List: The user interface lacks a straightforward to-do list feature. While there is a dashboard, it is somewhat buried and requires extensive filtering to display relevant information, failing to effectively remind users of tasks like missed notes or cosign requests. Disconnected Appointment and Documentation Integration: Calendar and appointment data do not automatically sync with documentation fields, such as date of service or time. This results in forms auto-populating with the current date and time, leading to manual corrections and added frustration during documentation. Challenging Treatment Plan Functionality: The built-in treatment plan tool is complex and not user-friendly, rendering it largely ineffective for practical use in a small practice setting. High and Fragmented Costs: Pricing is a major drawback, with multiple layered subscriptions (e.g., base, billing, and EMR) combined with per-item fees for claims, statements, ERAs, reminder texts, and more. For a practice with around 400 patients, this averaged $10,000 per month, which can be financially burdensome and feel like incremental nickel-and-diming.

For me as an admin person, I really love Kipu. I love the ability to create and edit my own forms. I loved that I was able to learn a lot on the back end.

Pros

I like how I was able to build or edit my own forms. I love the chat feature. I like how the nurses can order and send prescriptions within the the same place. I love the dashboard and the filters on the side bar.

Cons

No cons for me at this moment. I know billing and other departments have some issues within the system.

Just ok but could use some improvement from a nursing point of view.

Pros

As a nurse it is a fairly simple to use product. It looks modern and is not a "cluttered" program.

Cons

Not a real "task list" like hospital EMR's have. I wish there were a home screen timeline of tasks. I wish that the screen did not refresh every time a PRN medication is selected. It would be so much faster to complete med pass if it just had check boxes for the PRNs and you could select multiple at one time. The program would make communicating between the entire care team easier if there were some types of notifications to the providers when notes were placed by nursing into the client's charts. Being able to input vital signs from the information page of the client's chart would be nice as to not have to click two pages to get there.

They are too commercial . They just want your money . No need to pay $560 for maintenance and more daily charges whereas you can get very good platforms at 10 percent KIPU price

Pros

The are friendly when you are signing up

Cons

VERY PRICEY ! Stay away . When you need your records for an audit they will not allow you to access them if you don’t have an active account ! There is other systems that do the same thing at 10% the price
