Implementing behavioral health EMR can be an overwhelming task. Using a comprehensive solution for electronic medical records, billing, analytics and other aspects of your practice saves time and money and increases the quality of care.
Selecting the Right Solution
When selecting software management for your practice, you want a solution that was developed by individuals who understand healthcare: expert clinicians with a comprehensivegrasp of documentation, billing, and coding. It is also vital that expert design goes into the development of the software solution. This ensures that the product is intuitive and easy for staff to use.
What to Expect
When selecting behavioral health EMR software it is important to understand exactly what comes with the package. You want to implement a program that includes training and help with the transition process. The ideal process includes training for administrative staff. The administrative staff will be tasked with helping to finalize the forms used with the program. They will also act as a coordinator between the staff who will use the software and the software company. Scheduling training and determining when the process goes live is a collaborative process.
You should expect ongoing training from the software company for your staff. These can be as simple as webinars where the staff gets the training they need at work, home or in a classroom setting. The software company should offer this training, as they can best determine if the users understand the software and pinpoint areas where additional training would be beneficial. Training should be scheduled at your company’s convenience, and never need to disrupt your workflow or interfere with patient care.
Implementing behavioral health EMR solutions in your practice can streamline and transform your practice. Working with an experienced software company ensures that the implementation and onboarding are pain-free and the transition a smooth one for your employees and clients.
