AthenaPsych Case Study

AthenaPsych set out to expand access to mental health care across New York State at a moment when demand for both telehealth and in-person services was outpacing what most provider networks could handle. Leadership needed a platform that could scale with a surging volume of service requests, support aggressive recruitment of providers across the state, and enable a true hybrid care model, one that could route each patient to the right kind of care at the right time. All of this had to happen while driving down operational costs, without asking clinicians or patients to absorb the trade-off in quality or satisfaction.

Their existing EMR wasn’t built for that kind of scale or flexibility.

VALiNTRY360 built a custom Salesforce Health Cloud platform to replace AthenaPsych’s legacy EMR, purpose-built around the realities of behavioral health delivery. The build included Salesforce Scheduler for intake and appointment flow, Salesforce Shield for the security and compliance layer required in a clinical environment, MuleSoft Anypoint for system integration, Experience Cloud for provider and patient-facing access, and Einstein Analytics to surface performance metrics in real time. The platform connects to Formstack, Change Healthcare, and Vonage, giving AthenaPsych a single environment where scheduling, documentation, compliance, and communication all move together instead of living in separate systems.

The goal wasn’t just replacing an EMR. It was aligning resources to each patient’s actual needs, automating the workflows that used to eat clinician time, generating real-time documentation that supports better clinical decisions, and giving departments a way to exchange information without the friction of disconnected tools.
