A behavioral health EHR allows you to handle all stages of treatment and keep records efficiently. The amount of paperwork required in behavioral and addiction treatment is tremendous. The paperwork must be completed properly, records maintained, and the proper information passed along to insurance and other involved members of the treatment team.
How Electronic Health Records Can Help
Electronic health records are a digital rendering of the traditional paper chart. EHRs are valuable for many reasons: Information can be updated in real-time, ensuring that everyone has the latest information available.
An effective EHR contains everything a paper health record contains, as well as software-related tools that can aid in treatment. The EHR may contain treatment and medical history, diagnosis, treatment plans, medications, lab test results and any other information pertaining to the patient.
A well-designed behavioral health EHR will also include outcome measurement tools, withdrawal management, and treatment plans as well as ways to customize the software for the particular needs of your facility.
Using the right EHR for your facility saves time and money. It reduces the risk of errors and eases the workload on your staff. It is important to work with a company that specializes in EHR development. This ensures that you can customize the software in a way that best meets your needs. Different facilities have different needs, whether it is due to size, treatments provided or specializations.
