Preparing For The Unknown: The Six EHR Functionalities Essential For Surviving During & After A Pandemic — Exclusive White Paper, Sponsored By Qualifacts+Credible & OPEN MINDS
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (May 9, 2021) — This last year has dramatically changed the world and with it, the health and human services industry. Large portions of staff are now working from home. Consumers are increasingly anxious and depressed from the days spent in quarantine, with some unable or unwilling to access behavioral health services. To help health and human services provider organizations understand the tools available and essential for their survival, Qualifacts + Credible and OPEN MINDS have released a new white paper, Preparing For The Unknown: The Six EHR Functionalities Essential For Surviving During & After A Pandemic.
Technology has played a key role in service delivery and the survival of provider organizations across the nation during this challenging time, from simply providing staff with a way to work remotely to connecting consumers and provider organizations across the country for service delivery. Provider organizations with a fully implemented and functional electronic health records (EHR) system were better positioned for success in these chaotic, fast-paced, quickly changing times.
“This year has been challenging for everyone across the globe. Health and human services provider organizations have had an especially difficult time pivoting operations and transforming to meet the needs of their consumers with the highest care needs,” said Monica Oss, Chief Executive Officer at OPEN MINDS. “We have been conducting our annual EHR survey for five years now, and it’s plain to see the market has changed. Most providers have already adopted an EHR and are now focusing on ensuring they have the right technology and vendor to grow with them as the market changes.”
To further understand what additional functionalities provider organizations needed to survive during and after the pandemic, OPEN MINDS and Qualifacts + Credible conducted the 2020 National Behavioral Health EHR Survey of provider organizations across the nation in the health and human services industry. The survey uncovered critical information on the purchasing and implementation behaviors of health and human service provider organizations related to EHRs and their functionalities.
“Simply having an EHR is no longer enough. Whether it is value-based care and reimbursements, integrated primary and mental health care, or just complex state reporting requirements, we aim to support and provide health and human services provider organizations the critical technology they need to optimize their outcomes,” said Jeff Silverman, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Qualifacts + Credible. “It is important that we are a comprehensive resource for our customers, so sponsoring this white paper and annual survey was a meaningful opportunity to provide value to agencies we serve. Insights like these give both our team and providers who are considering new technology a deeper understanding what functionality provider organizations want and need to drive more efficient and streamlined operations.”
