What's Included & What's Not

A desktop and mobile device showing content

The Acorn Clinical Case Management System has been developed to meet the needs of many different types of service providers, many of whom will share the same common core of requirements. Some clients will have much more complex requirements however, and although it’s possible to build these into the Acorn system, it’s more appropriate to offer them as extras.

Acorn will be configured to deliver all the features you need and none of the features you don’t, resulting in a system that is totally aligned to the way you work and the services you provide.

Features & Functions Included

Acorn includes all the following features and functions as standard

Multiple Services

Acorn has been designed so it can scale with you. It supports service providers who are managing one, two or even dozens of services.

IAPT & MHSDS Submissions

The system is fully compatible with IAPT 2.1 and MHSDS 5.0 submissions, including SNOMED codes. Easily export your submissions to CSV files.

Calendar Management

Each practitioner, venue and room gets its own interactive, colour-coded calendar for managing availability and booking client appointments.

Waiting Lists

Add service users to Waiting Lists automatically

Questionnaires

Acorn supports both standard NHS data set questionnaires, (e.g. IAPT or MHSDS) and custom questionnaires to collect additional clinical data.

Notifications

Acorn provides many different automated notifications to users, based on the current state of records a user is responsible for or interested in.
