Get More Done with Less

Every EHR should have an audit log feature that allows you to evaluate the activity in the system. An EHR audit verifies that your organization is using the platform in a way that complies with regulations. 

This audit can confirm that the system maintains client security and protects their information effectively. You can also compare systems to ensure you've chosen the one that best meets your practice's needs.

When you evaluate a current or potential EHR, there are several items to include on your EHR checklist. You want to select a system your team will use and that meets compliance requirements.

Ideally, your EHR will have reporting capabilities that optimize your clinicians' jobs and make their work a little easier. The platform should collect information on client treatment history, medications and diagnoses, and synthesize that information for your providers. Choosing an EHR that is ONC-certified helps ensure the platform has the reporting capabilities you require.

Your practice's specialty matters when you select an EHR system. Ideally, your platform was designed with your specialty in mind. For behavioral health providers, that means choosing a platform that was engineered specifically for the needs of the behavioral health community. 

The EHR should integrate, access, cooperate and exchange information across boundaries. An EHR system that's interoperable can communicate with other systems, even if they are not from the same vendor. To allow for the exchange of information and collaboration between providers, your organization needs an EHR that's interoperable. 

A solid implementation strategy is crucial for the success of your EHR. When evaluating a potential platform, learn as much as possible about the implementation process. Find out if the vendor will guide you through implementation, offer training and continue to provide support once the initial phase is complete.

Your providers are more likely to adopt and use an EHR that's intuitive and modern. When evaluating an EHR, look for a system that puts the most relevant information right at providers' fingertips.

Systems that lack ease of use can frustrate providers, increasing their strain and enhancing feelings of burnout. Providing a platform that's built for their requirements and pain points can help reduce turnover and increase provider satisfaction.
