I use Kipu to document patient information, medications, and intake. I like that it’s easy to work with and more organized than other programs. The assessments and medication features are important for keeping patients safe, and the medication inventory helps solve problems. When I need help, Kipu chat is there, and I like having a live specialist ready to help 24/7. The initial setup was pretty easy, not difficult.

I love that Kipu is very user friendly, and since I’ve used it at different treatment centers for years, I don’t have to relearn a new system when I move from company to company. I like being able to teach a group and keep track of the session, its description, and how each client participated and was affected. I can look back at a past session, see how it worked and how beneficial it was, and tweak it to make it better. Kipu keeps track of everything, including clients after they leave the residential program, so I can look them up, stay in touch, and involve them in the alumni program. It also keeps client information and items together instead of relying on old-school paper documents, with places to save pictures of IDs and belongings. I can pull up a picture of a client’s belongings when they discharge. It’s my favorite system that we have.

I’ve had a positive experience using Kipu in behavioral health and addiction treatment. It keeps my progress, group, and medical notes organized and confidential. I appreciate having everything in one place; it’s easy to use, simple to locate things, and much easier to use than other platforms I’ve used at other jobs. I especially value the medical portion, which makes everything efficient. The setup was easy, too.
