Lessons Learned From Hundreds Of Agency EHR Implementations: Results Of The 2017 National Behavioral Health EHR Survey

February 27, 2018 — Free Executive Web Briefing Courtesy of Credible Behavioral Health Software

Presented By: Joseph Naughton-Travers, Senior Associate, OPEN MINDS; & Matt Dorman, Co-Founder & CEO of Credible Behavioral Health Software

The research from the 2017 National Behavioral Health EHR Survey shows that most behavioral health care providers have a fully implemented EHRs with core functionalities. However, many of those systems are aging, and organizations need their EHR to stay relevant with evolving health care needs and technology requirements. EHRs need to provide more than core functions, like billing, scheduling, and service documentation because of expanding health care requirements that rely on outcome measurements. The rapidly changing healthcare landscape necessitates organizations assessing which EHR system and functionalities best fit the developing value-based reimbursement business model.

Selecting the right EHR for existing and future business needs of an organization can impact growth and sustainability. New EHR functionalities are required to compete in the current market-driven, value-oriented health care environment. A strategic assessment of necessary EHR functionalities provides insight on how to leverage an EHR investment for future success.

During this executive web briefing, Matthew M. Dorman, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Credible Behavioral Health Software, and Joe Naughton-Travers, OPEN MINDS Senior Associate, reviewed the 2017 National Behavioral Health EHR Survey results and offered methods to improve behavioral health organizations’ EHR selection and implementation plans. This webinar helped organizations clearly define and review existing EHR capabilities and highlighted where to consider investing in current EHR technology to be poised for success. The webinar offered insights to navigate uncertainty, and provided a checklist of necessary items to best position businesses to survive and thrive in a changing and evolving market.

During this 90-minute executive web briefing, attendees learned about:

Key findings from 2017 National Behavioral Health EHR Survey
Environmental trends driving EHR implementation and functionality
Steps to take to achieve successful EHR selection and implementation

COVID-19 Risk Management Plan August 11, 2021

We are excited to return to sunny southern California for The 2021 OPEN MINDS Management Best Practices Institute at the picturesque Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa, August 23-26, 2021. To help plan your in-person attendance, visit https://openminds.com/live-mbpi/ for a schedule of events happening throughout the week.

The resurgence of the COVID Delta variant has certainly created new challenges for the country and for our families. Fortunately, the available COVID vaccinations have been very successful in preventing symptomatic infections and illness. But I did want to let you know that our team at OPEN MINDS is committed to making our executive events as safe as possible and have an active risk management plan in place. I wanted to share with you the key elements of our plan:

Masking. Every participant will receive a mask as part of their registration materials. Unvaccinated people will be required to wear masks – and vaccinated attendees will be encouraged to wear masks. If the local or state governments have more restrictive standards (including mandatory masking or requiring proof of vaccination) at the time of our institutes, we will follow those standards.

Social Distancing. We are working with the event venue to hold all sessions in the largest possible rooms with seating as far apart as possible. In order to accomplish this, we ask that you select in advance the sessions you plan to attend in-person at the event venue. This will assist us with room and seating arrangements.

Outdoor Events. Where possible, we will use outdoor spaces for networking events and smaller sessions.

Hand Sanitation. Hand sanitation stations are available throughout the event venue and hand sanitizer is included in your registration materials, courtesy of our partner, Qualifacts+Credible.

Virtual Sessions. Every session will be partially or fully available in a virtual capacity:

We are livestreaming via GoToWebinar our plenary sessions – keynote addresses and plenary panels. You can participate online from your hotel room (or from your home office if you can’t attend on-site). We will be accepting questions from both the onsite and online audiences.
Each executive seminar is being offered at two separate times, one live at the event venue and the other exclusively for virtual attendees.
We are recording the audio for each session – and will post the audio along with presentation materials after each session.
A virtual exhibit hall will be available with access to all exhibitor contact information, product demos, and engagement opportunities.

We will continue to monitor any changes in the CDC recommendations for the continued safety of the public. If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to reach out to a member of our team at events@openminds.com or by phone at 877-350-6463. We look forward to seeing you at The 2021 OPEN MINDS Management Best Practices Institute.
