Askesis Development Group believes that designing a premiere software solution begins with a deep understanding of the industry. Askesis' leadership has decades of direct, operational experience in a multitude of behavioral health and IT roles. This target insight has led to the understanding that a successful application must integrate clinical and revenue-related functionality in one system. As overall dollars for services shrink, reimbursement for authorized care decreases, and behavioral health services are managed, organizations must find ways to:

• Optimize the productivity of staff in the face of constant change;
• Eliminate unbilled or denied claims that result from administrative errors; and
• Demonstrate favorable outcomes which prove that clinical services are effective and achieving the stated goals.

Askesis employed a consortium model during the early years of PsychConsult’s development, calling upon a wide variety of clinical, financial, and insurance experts. Today’s leadership understands the invaluable importance of maintaining the dialog with industry leaders, and works with nationally respected partners to ensure that the software remains as relevant as it is innovative. The tremendous insights gained through these relationships have resulted in a product that is effectively poised to serve the specialized needs of all of these groups.
