Lightning Step and WITS (Web Infrastructure for Treatment Services) have completed their integration process in Nevada, providing improved behavioral health data collection and reporting across the State.
Purpose
WITS will provide a platform for TEDS/NOMs and block grant data collection for treatment and prevention services. It will also provide a mechanism to manage the fiscal and contract/grant funding that the State contracts to its providers in the community, as well as bill Medicaid. In addition, some providers may have their own electronic health records; the WITS platform will provide the ability for these providers to submit a minimum data set to the WITS repository so that the State has the data to report on in the future.
About WITS

WITS satisfies mandatory government reporting requirements for the planning, administration, and monitoring of Inpatient and Outpatient Behavioral Health Treatment Programs, Prevention Programs, Problem Solving Courts, Gambling Addictions Programs and Federal Grant Management programs. WITS facilitates cooperation and collaboration among providers by enabling the sharing of client services information via the web. WITS includes robust billing capabilities and an integrated contract management module allowing for multiple forms of provider management and billing between the government entity and its community of providers.
WITS also has a solution for Opioid Prevention, Treatment and Recovery, and Data Reporting including:

FEi partnered with federal, state, and local government agencies, to provide guidance to the behavioral health community around the issues states, counties, and providers encountered in their move towards integrated state Health Information Exchanges (HIE).
The WITS Collaborative community has additional exposure to state-of-the-art national concepts and solutions such as:
- Consensus-based behavioral health records standards that are compatible with national treatment data standards.
- Interoperability between primary care providers and patients.
