Our story is about creating Partner success stories.
Credible exists to improve lives―at the industry level, provider level, clinical level, community level, family level, and personal level. Our product is Behavioral Health Enterprise Software, but our Partnership-based approach is what separates us from every provider in our industry. Others may offer the ‘what’. Credible excels at the all-important “how.”
Driven by a personal passion to make a difference.
Credible’s Founder and CEO, Matthew M. Dorman, lost his sister as a result of medication non-compliance. Barbara Dorman, sister to Mr. Dorman, was a devoted mother, sister, aunt, and daughter who worked as an office manager at a local behavioral health organization.
On February 12, 1996, a severely mentally ill individual was discharged from a local psychiatric hospital. Responding to friend’s pleas of assistance, Barbara volunteered to check on the individual in crisis. Unbeknownst to Barbara, the individual was suffering from a psychotic episode, which resulted in her murder. There was a lack of proper follow up from the institution the individual had been discharged from, which was not caught due to the institution’s utilization of paper records.
Following the tragic and senseless death of his sister, Mr. Dorman made a vow to ensure other families would not have to suffer the same pain and suffering his family did. This resulted in the founding of Credible Behavioral Health. For nearly 19 years, Mr. Dorman has combined his laser-like focus and determination with an unwavering personal commitment to uphold the Mission of improving the quality of care and lives in behavioral health.
Improving quality of care. Improving quality of life.
Put simply, Credible Behavioral Health Enterprise Software provides secure, proven, easy-to-use, web-based software for clinic, community, residential, and mobile care providers across the United States.
