OPEN MINDS & Credible Behavioral Health Software Launch New EHR Strategic Technology Assessment
This new assessment – developed jointly by the teams at Credible and OPEN MINDS – focuses on EHR optimization – and the changing technology needs of behavioral health organizations.
Gettysburg, Pa. (July 29, 2018) — OPEN MINDS and Credible Behavioral Health Software (Credible) are pleased to announce the release of their collaborative effort: The OPEN MINDS Strategic Technology Assessment. This tool is designed to assist executive teams of behavioral health care provider organizations in assessing whether they are getting the most from their current electronic health record systems (EHRs) – and whether their current EHR has the functional capabilities for a market with more value-based reimbursement and integrated care delivery. The OPEN MINDS Strategic Technology Assessment is being made available to any behavioral health organization at no charge, courtesy of Credible.
The OPEN MINDS Strategic Technology Assessment measures the success of a behavioral health organization in leveraging and optimizing their EHR investment. In addition, the assessment reviews the organization’s current EHR platform against the advanced functionalities that are essential for growth and sustainability in the current health and human service market. The assessment looks at functionality like collecting and tracking clinical data, having a mobile data option, and predicting financial sustainability.
“Credible and OPEN MINDS are now in their eighth year of a partnership that continues to add value to our client partners and the behavioral health community,” said Matthew M. Dorman, Founder and CEO of Credible Behavioral Health Software. “We are proud to help develop, sponsor, and promote a tool that organizations can use to evaluate the current state of their EHR systems. We look forward to working with organizations completing the assessment to make technology an integral part of their competitive strategy.”
“Market forces in the health and human service field are changing the role of behavioral health organizations – and the technology and informatics functionality needed for sustainability,” said Monica E. Oss, Chief Executive Officer of OPEN MINDS. “Our new assessment assists organizations in getting an ‘expert third-party view’ of their current EHR functionality. I’m pleased that we have been able to collaborate with the Credible team to bring this new tool to the field.”
The assessment is located in the OPEN MINDS resource library and available for use by any organization at no charge. After completing the assessment, all participating organizations receive an assessment score and recommendations for enhancing their EHR functionality. The website provides participants with a printable recommendations report to assist in deciding which additional features and functions are needed in existing EHRs. The report is intended to be used as a strategic planning aid or to facilitate technology implementations.
