Behavioral Health Integrations & Data Exchange
Connect the systems your teams already depend on.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH + ENGINEERING
Building technology
around the realities
of behavioral
healthcare.
We work with behavioral-health leaders to understand the problems that matter—and build practical technology where it can help.
One morning, connected.

01 / THE IDEA
The problem comes first.
The technology comes second.
We begin with problems that behavioral-health professionals believe are worth solving.
Decision gateDesigned stop point
| Step | What it produces | Before moving on |
|---|---|---|
01Clinical experienceClinicians, clinical leaders and frontline teams | A recurring problem described by the people who encounter it. | Where does this happen, and who is affected? |
02The problemClinical contributor + Salt | A clear problem statement and a map of the affected workflow. | Is it specific enough to act on and important enough to pursue? If not, we clarify it or stop. |
03ExploreSalt, with clinical and operational input | Feasible options, including changes that do not need new technology. | Does technology have a useful role here? If not, we say so and stop. |
04EngineerSalt product + engineering | A focused prototype with its scope and limitations documented. | Can we test it in a realistic, appropriate setting? |
05ValidateClinical and operational contributors | Findings on what helps, what fails and what needs to change. | Does it reduce friction without adding unnecessary work? If not, we refine it or stop. |
06SolutionOrganization + Salt | An agreed next step, with clear scope, ownership and support. | Pilot, implement, refine—or step back? |
“If technology isn’t the right answer, we stop.”
02 / THE REALITY
Behavioral healthcare
is complex by nature.
Clinical care, patient access, documentation, referrals, assessments, reporting, reimbursement and multiple technology systems often intersect within the same workflow.
The challenge is understanding where technology can reduce friction without creating more work.
01
Explore behavioral health ↗Clinical workflows
Helping technology fit the way behavioral-health professionals actually work.
02Data & interoperability
Helping information move between systems and remain usable.
03Access & intake
Reducing friction between referral, intake, scheduling and authorization.
04Outcomes & reporting
Making fragmented information more consistent, traceable and useful.
05Technology transitions
Helping organizations move, consolidate and work with their data.
03 / BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CO-INNOVATION PROGRAM
Your clinical experience.
Our engineering capability.
Some problems are understood best by the people who work with them every day. We bring that experience into problem definition and validation, alongside product thinking and engineering.
YOU
Identify & challenge
Bring the clinical experience, context and problems worth exploring.
SALT
Explore & build
Investigate the problem, assess feasibility and build when technology is genuinely appropriate.
TOGETHER
Validate & learn
Challenge assumptions and determine whether what is built is actually useful.
FROM PROBLEM TO POSSIBILITY
A disciplined path.
An open outcome.
- 01
Bring a problem
A recurring clinical, operational or patient-care challenge.
- 02
Explore it
Understand the context, workflow and constraints.
- 03
Challenge the thinking
Test whether the problem is worth pursuing.
- 04
Build if it makes sense
Develop only where there is a genuine role for technology.
- 05
Validate
Assess usefulness in the real-world context.
- 06
Decide what’s next
Continue, refine, pilot, learn—or stop.
What this is not
- Not a product endorsement program.
- Not predetermined technology looking for validation.
- Not a requirement to promote Salt.
- Not technology for technology’s sake.
04 / FOR HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS
From complex problems
to technology that
works in practice.
Salt brings product thinking, engineering and healthcare-focused technology implementation to specific operational and clinical challenges.
Discuss a healthcare challenge01
Discover

HIPAA experience. BAAs with healthcare clients.
Salt Technologies has delivered HIPAA-compliant healthcare projects and signs Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with healthcare clients. Safeguards and responsibilities are defined for each engagement.
Privacy, security & HIPAA06 / THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LIBRARY
Better technology starts
with better understanding.
Conversations, research and ideas shaping behavioral healthcare.
Explore the library ↗2025 National Survey on Drug Use and Health
National estimates of substance use, mental health conditions and treatment among the US civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 and older.
Why this matters
A starting point for understanding population needs. National estimates provide context, not a prediction of demand at a particular clinic.
CCBHC Certification Criteria
The official criteria cover staffing, access, coordination, services, reporting and governance.
Why this matters
Technology scope should follow the organization’s applicable requirements and operating model, with clinical and program specialists interpreting them.
EHR adoption is only part of the interoperability story
Data Brief 82 examines EHR adoption and exchange capabilities among substance use and mental health treatment facilities using 2024 survey data.
Why this matters
Recording information electronically and exchanging it usefully are different capabilities. Integration discovery needs to examine both.
LET’S START WITH THE PROBLEM
Have a behavioral-health
problem worth exploring?
Not every problem needs technology. But if you have a challenge worth understanding, we’d like to hear about it.
