Behavioral Health EHR/EMR Software
Electronic health records (EHRs) are one of the most important tools that behavioral health providers have to help patients manage mental health conditions and get the right care.
A complete EHR designed specifically for behavioral health practices
AdvancedMD EHR software for behavioral health goes beyond basic electronic medical records (EMRs) to offer comprehensive capabilities that improve care delivery and streamline your everyday clinical workflows. There are many different EHR software options to choose from today. But AdvancedMD is one of the only companies to offer clinical software specifically built to meet the needs of a behavioral health practice. Most other companies have a single solution that tries to meet the needs of dozens of different specialties, but might not meet the specific needs of your unique practice.
Most EHR solutions are built for large hospital systems with hundreds or thousands of providers in dozens of different medical specialties. They include bells and whistles you probably don’t need, and your staff will have to create workarounds to get to the features you do need. AdvancedMD is specifically designed for the needs of behavioral health practitioners. We offer complete customization so you can create the specific EHR for the behavioral health care you provide.
Customizable templates
Create templates for the most common conditions you treat so providers can quickly document encounters without missing important details or information for billing and ongoing care management. Choose from templates for the most common behavioral health conditions, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, PTSD, psychosis, suicide, and more. Or create your own templates based on your clinical needs and common conditions you treat in your behavioral health practice.
Hands-free notes
Document patient encounters without ever touching a keyboard using natural language processing tools. Our hands-free notetaking features speed up patient encounter data entry and limit computer time for providers so you can send claims to your medical coding and billing team without delay.
Clinical decision support alerts
Get alerts specific to each of your patients that improve care. Our software uses AI and other advanced analysis tools to identify and recommend care, tests, or other follow-up. Providers can quickly view alerts and determine whether they are appropriate for each patient and dismiss them if they are not. Alerts are easy to see, but unobtrusive so they don’t hinder your workflow during a patient appointment.
EHR data entry specific to behavioral health
Enter the information that is most important for behavioral health care. With AdvancedMD there are specific places to enter mental status exams, outcome measures, and session notes for each patient encounter. You can also track important information like suicide risk, violence risk, and sadness scales to monitor patients over time.
Effectively manage your patients’ care
Behavioral health providers work with patients for long periods of time, and often have complex and ongoing care plans. With our industry-leading software you can see all the information from a patient’s medical and behavioral health treatment history in one place.
AdvancedMD software includes a user-friendly interface so providers and staff can quickly navigate a patient’s full medical and behavioral health history to find details pertinent to today’s encounter. You can enter recommendations and follow up with patients over time to see their progress.
Share information seamlessly with external providers & clinics
Behavioral health providers often work with patients who see multiple practitioners for their physical and mental health. Our software makes information sharing seamless and simple. We have existing application programming interfaces (APIs) with the most common EHR systems available. We can also create custom APIs to connect to other systems as needed to get information or send information to other providers in and out of your area.
EHR software for a digital future
Medicine is moving toward a digital future. Independent practitioners and small behavioral health group practices that want to be part of that future need to prepare today with the right tools to make it easier for you and your patients. Our EHR software includes a wide array of digital tools to improve patient care, including:
- ePrescribing to send prescriptions to a patient’s pharmacy with a single click
- Database checks for controlled substances to remain in compliance with local, state, and federal prescribing regulations
- Automated alerts to let you know when there is a potential drug interaction or other risk before prescribing a new medication
- Electronic referrals to speed up the process of getting patients into other specialists as needed
