Compare HiBoop to Mental Health Assessment Platforms & Behavioral Health EHRs

See how HiBoop's measurement-based care approach stacks up against traditional EHRs, forms platforms, analytics tools, and AI documentation assistants.

What Each Platform Does Best

HiBoop is the measurement-based care (MBC) platform for mental health teams. Our software automates delivery, scoring, and longitudinal tracking of 50+ validated clinical assessments, including the PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, and PCL-5 for trauma, so clinicians see scored results before the session, not after.

The HiBoop Recommendation Algorithm is a deterministic, rules-based clinical decision-support engine (not an LLM). It reviews client responses in real time, flags risk, and recommends the next validated assessment based on defined thresholds and established comorbidity patterns, producing an adaptive assessment pathway with consistent, auditable outputs.

Feature Comparison

Most assessment platforms stop at the score. They digitize the paper, but they don't solve the data silence . HiBoop was built to reveal the patterns, not just store the results.

HiBoop tracks outcomes session by session throughout the entire treatment journey, so clinicians always know if a patient is improving, plateauing, or deteriorating

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before deciding.

Does Kipu EMR replace the need for a separate MBC platform like HiBoop?

Kipu EMR covers clinical documentation, admissions, treatment planning, and billing - but its outcome measurement capabilities are not its primary focus. Addiction treatment programs pursuing CARF accreditation, HEDIS FUA/FUT measures, or value-based care contracts typically need a dedicated MBC platform. HiBoop runs alongside Kipu EMR, handling structured outcome tracking while Kipu manages the clinical record.

Will switching to HiBoop for outcome tracking affect our Joint Commission or CARF documentation?

No - HiBoop is additive, not a replacement for your EHR. Your Kipu EMR documentation, treatment plans, and clinical notes remain unchanged. HiBoop generates the aggregate outcome reports and standardized validated-tool data that accrediting bodies require, and those reports can be attached to your accreditation submission independent of Kipu.

Does HiBoop support ASAM criteria and level-of-care assessments alongside PHQ-9 and PCL-5?

Yes. HiBoop's SUD-specific library includes AUDIT, DAST-10, CAGE-AID, ASI (Addiction Severity Index), and supports ASAM-aligned clinical decision support. Co-occurring disorder screening (PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, C-SSRS) runs in parallel, giving counselors a unified view of both substance use severity and psychiatric comorbidities in one dashboard.

Can HiBoop and Kipu run in parallel during a phased implementation?

Yes. HiBoop is designed to layer on top of an existing EHR without data migration. Clinicians can administer HiBoop assessments promptly while Kipu continues handling admissions and billing. Assessment results can be exported from HiBoop as structured data or PDFs and attached to the Kipu chart, keeping a unified clinical record.

Which HEDIS measures does HiBoop support for SUD programs?

HiBoop supports the key HEDIS behavioral health and SUD measures including FUA (Follow-Up After Emergency Department Visit for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse), FUT (Follow-Up After High-Intensity Care for Substance Use Disorder), and Antidepressant Medication Management (AMM). Aggregate outcome reports are formatted to align with payer quality reporting requirements.

Does Kipu include patient-facing assessment portals like HiBoop?

Kipu's patient engagement features are primarily focused on treatment planning and clinical workflows. HiBoop offers a patient-facing assessment portal where clients can complete validated screeners via SMS or secure link before or between sessions, with results flowing automatically to the clinician dashboard - reducing session time spent on administration and improving response rates.
