An update re. some recent changes in Kimball DeLaMare's employment specs:
Apparently, he's no longer specifically with Proficio...
That said, it's really hard to know, at least half the time, where one organization ends and another begins, given all the name changes, personnel rearrangements, etc. which, in the final analysis, are not really changes so much as they are metamorphoses of convenience and opportunity.
'Nuff said.
For about a year, DeLaMare and Jared Balmer have been in partnership in what looks to be a consultancy firm of sorts called Achieve Education Systems. Here is what remains of their website, no longer in existence and not even to be found on Web Archive, the following having been copied from a Google cache which will also soon expire:

BestNotes Launches Treatment Planning Library Optimizing Workflow
Contact:
Nathan Olsen
President

October 24, 2010
Nathan Olsen, President of BestNotes, is pleased to announce the general release of a comprehensive Treatment Plan Library to the BestNotes electronic management product line. "With the addition of this comprehensive treatment plan library, BestNotes has taken a significant step in further establishing its place as a leader in the industry," said Olsen.
In collaboration with Jared Balmer, Ph.D. and Kimball DeLaMare, L.C.S.W. of Achieve Consulting Group, BestNotes has produced a treatment planning system containing an extensive library of goals, objectives, and interventions for use in the treatment of individuals in outpatient, group, and out-of home settings. With inclusion of the full DSM, licensed for distribution from the APA, the library meets the highest standards of regulatory and accrediting bodies throughout the U.S. Programs that do not base treatment planning on DSM diagnostic criteria are able to utilize the BestNotes treatment-planning library by "Problem Area" allowing equal effectiveness in goal and objective formulation.
BestNotes provides multidisciplinary treatment planning with allied treatment focus on medical and educational concerns. Workflow is optimized as data captured in the treatment plan is transferred to progress notes, treatment plan reviews and discharge summaries - a tremendous time saver.
BestNotes is a web-based HIPAA compliant electronic health record system, designed specifically for behavioral health programs and therapeutic schools. Features include an integrated online application system, marketing and admissions management, advanced clinical documentation system, academic grade book, scheduling, communication tools and reports.

As a past CALO student, I can tell you from experience and research that CALO has links to not only West Ridge Academy and Provo Canyon, but also to Hidden Lake Academy/Ridge Creek School, all residential treatment facilities that have faced abuse allegations. While reading about West Ridge, Provo Canyon, and Hidden Lake, I noticed many similarities between things that went on there, and things that happened at CALO.
