What it really isNetsmart CareManager: cloud-based, EHR-agnostic care coordination and population health platform.

Our takeCareManager sits across a network of providers rather than inside one clinic.

Participating providers follow a shared care plan, exchange data, track clinical quality measures and manage authorizations and claims, with alerts and tasks built into the care team's work. Netsmart lists behavioral health, CCBHC, home health, hospice, integrated care, public health and skilled nursing as its communities. Pricing is by demo.

Why we rate itIt works with any EHR and pulls in lab results and health information exchange (HIE) data, which suits networks where each provider runs different software.

The catchZero pricing transparency forces a full sales cycle before evaluation.

Implementation is complex and typically requires vendor-led onboarding; not suitable for small or mid-size practices.

Best / not good for

Best for

Multi-agency behavioral health networks needing shared care plans
CCBHCs and integrated care organizations tracking population-level outcomes
Health plans and managed care orgs coordinating post-acute and social services

Not good for

Solo practices or small clinics seeking affordable EHR-lite tools
Organizations wanting plug-and-play setup without an implementation engagement
Buyers who need transparent, self-serve pricing before committing

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Slow: enterprise sales cycle plus vendor-led implementation required before any clinical workflows go live.
Scale breakpoint
Costs and complexity scale with number of participating organizations and data sources; statewide or regional rollouts require significant IT coordination.
Walled garden
Moderate: it exchanges data with any EHR and HIE, but shared care plans and network workflows live in CareManager.

Still a fit?
