About us
Growing with ViaCura
Therapy software has remained unchanged for too long while the therapy relationship in the SNF has undergone significant shifts. With the lack of choices on the market, we rolled up our sleeves and designed a modern, forward leaning solution. Via Cura addresses the need for change and has built a foundation for the next regulatory shifts.
Automated Intelligence℠
You set the plan and Via gets to work building schedules, budgeting time, and setting documentation reminders. You retain full control! It's like having a full time assistant by your side.

Clinician Features
Simplified Workflow
The daily planner is built using our Automated Intelligence℠ feature. The evaluating therapist builds the episode with the POC and the planner auto schedules taking into consideration who is treating, caseload for the day, availability, and overlap.
One punch Clock in and clock out marks your paid time on the calendar.
Take a quick look at your monthly calendar to view total hours worked, treatment minutes logged (in real time), productivity (real time), and missed punches.
ViaCura tracks your documentation progress and allows you to save, edit, and pick up where you left off during those expected interruptions.
The intuitive documentation path follows the clinical logic along with practical completion logic.
You'll finish your documentation in half the time, even if you aren't trying to hurry.
Your entire day and what's coming up is right in front of you. Log in to find the charges due now, the documentation alerts and upcoming documentation needed.
Quickly accept patient transfers from other teammates.
When you can't finish your caseload for the day, but treatments are due, simply initiate a transfer for another therapist to grab your treatment for the day.
The other therapist will see the transfer on their dashboard, accept, and it will be added to their daily planner - automatically.
The ViaCura evaluation process is quick, intuitive, and helps cut down on errors.
Simply begin the Eval and watch how fast and smooth the process will flow.
Each supervising therapist will be alerted for necessary and timely documentation along with upcoming planned visits.
Supervisory rules follow the federal guidelines as well as state specific guidelines, whichever is more stringent.
Management Features
Managing Made Easy
It's 2023, there is little need to wait on a server to update data overnight. ViaCura collects and posts data immediately for real-time feedback.
This process allows therapists and managers to quickly glance across the screens to see how performance is trending.
ViaCura studied documentation patterns from the past 20 years to build a more efficient documentation system.
The result is therapy providers spending less money on non-billable time and allowing therapists the time necessary to develop caseload and work on outcomes.
Clean documentation makes for easier EOM processes. ViaCura offers pin-pointed reporting to help guide documentation audits and pre-bill checks.
The faster you generate end of month invoicing, the quicker you get paid.
ViaCura eliminates the need for someone to set and plan schedules. We think our customer said it best:
"I’m so glad that I’m not responsible for setting every patient’s planner and every therapist’s schedule.”
ViaCura is steadily investing in our Automated Intelligence℠ to look at the current workflow of the department and balance the daily and weekly planner according to available staff.
Supervisory visits and PRN therapists have advanced access to see when they need to be available.
ViaCura also uses its Automated Intelligence℠ to set alerts for upcoming documentation based on the type of payor and plan established.
Supervisory visits and PRN therapists have advanced access to see when they need to be available.
ViaCura created user roles and reports for MDS nurses and facility clinical directors to access anytime.
Read what facility nurses are saying about ViaCura:
“I don’t have to chase down the therapists to ask what a patient has been doing in therapy. I can log in and look at the daily notes much quicker.”
“The software is very easy to use. I can find therapist documentation very quickly. I was often frustrated with previous software, as it was so difficult to remember how to locate the documentation.”
This means less calls from the front office. Less complaints to management teams. More coordination of care.
ViaCura created open-ended hooks to allow easy integration with facility EMRs.
Of course each EMR decides what will and will not flow back and forth.
ViaCura can integrate with any EMR which allow access. The work orders take about 60 days to complete.
Process
How Does It Work?
Via Cura is a secure web-based Software As A Service (SaaS) designed to simplify and enhance the daily workflow for therapists. However, the underlying design is built to follow the Episode of Care for each patient on caseload. By following the episode of care Via can help clinicians more accurately monitor and predict outcomes mid-stream based on real-time documentation. Every step of the documentation process guides the clinician toward compliance and prepares audit ready records.
Imagine using a therapy software that follows the Plan of Care you established, all while reducing the documentation burden on the clinician! A therapy EHR should never dictate care nor demand your clinical operation to bend. Via Cura is designed to be unobtrusive while giving the user critical tools and information to do what you do best — treat patients and generate audit-ready documentation.
Heads up Dashboard
Each user gets a snapshot of the daily work. To-do list, charges to enter, documentation due, scheduled visits. Complete your to-do and watch your list grow shorter.
Efficient Documentation
You can’t cut corners on documentation, but you can make it efficient. Via Cura designed the the documentation process into a more natural work flow. Departments are realizing a 50% time savings on documentation!! That’s a big deal.
Powerful Planner
Via Cura designed the planner to be the hub of team activity. Visual feedback to help balance caseloads. Via creates the planner for you – no more lengthy discussions or spending hours trying to balance your team.

Feedback
Customer Feedback
"We did what we didn't want to do, change software! However, when Casmaba decided to shut down their software, we had no choice. We looked at the market and had tried Optima in the past, it was not great and we weren't willing to go there again with NetHealth. We interviewed many providers and found ViaCura about to launch. The first few months were hard, not going to lie, but now, we have a solid solution that is moving toward the future! We are very excited to have all of our facilities running ViaCura! It's stable and we're back on track. Highly recommend!

“The software is very easy to use. I was often frustrated with previous software, as it was so difficult to remember how to locate the documentation.”
“This is awesome. Via seems to have little to no learning curve - I'm a nurse, not a therapist, and I understand how to navigate and use it.”
"It's very intuitive. It's like you know exactly where to click the first time you see it. Wow!"
With that said, Via Cura will schedule a train-the-trainer event. If the lead staff feels a particular team needs additional training, we'll gladly set up live walk-throughs.
We'll also provide a sandbox test site for your team to get comfortable.
Typically the process takes no more than 30 days. In fact, after the first or second session, you'll likely cancel any remaining training sessions.
Via Cura will ask that you appoint a key contact person for matters relating to technical support (these are issues such as downtime, functional issues, potential glitches, or one-off hiccups. Our dedicated support specialist will answer your e-mails and chats.

Via Cura Therapy Software is designed exclusively for Skilled Nursing Facility setting. Whether you are a contract therapy provider, managed model therapy provider, in-house provider, or a corporate chain with an internal therapy division, we can meet your need.
Via Cura does not automatically process claims. By Q1 2024, Via will feature a full billing module for add-on.
Via can design exports, UBs, billing files, etc. to fit any 3rd party direct billing software to use if you do not bill your own claims.
Contact our support team to discuss your export file formats and needs.
Home health? Yes, but with the understanding that exports and integrations will likely need to be designed for your home health software.
Assisted Living? Yes, but you'll likely want to add our new full featured claims billing module.
On the roadmap, you'll see announcements about two new products in the pipeline:
- Via Casa = Therapy software for home health with automatic seamless integration with Via Cura for providers with both SNF and Home Health.
- Via Juvo = A targeted product for Assisted living with direct billing modules and tailored to the needs of ALF care software and advanced wellness practice.
As with the other settings, you can use Via Cura for outpatient clinics, however, the practice management side of the software is geared toward institutional care vs. private clinic care.
Yes, we can help you in a pinch, but you'll be best served by a private practice solution until we develop our full featured front-end solution (Targeting Late 2024).
