Mental Health EMR: 5 FAQs Answered

mental health EMR

EMRs provide safe storage for important documents. With CounSol.com, it’s easy to digitize your practice, one mental health EMR chart at a time.

Mental health EMR, or electronic medical records, is a great way to digitize key aspects of your therapy practice. Many physicians use the tool to create a secure back-up for client files like paper charts, session notes, and assessments. In fact, a study by the CDC discovered that 89.9% of office-based physicians use an EMR system. It is not only a critical step in the sharing of important documentation, but also provides valuable insight in improving client care levels. 

While the jump from paper to screen may appear daunting, CounSol.com’s EMR software makes the process a breeze. Read on for the top five questions answered

#1: Is It HIPAA-Compliant?

The issue of HIPAA-compliance is perhaps the most important question to ask when beginning the search for a mental health EMR system. CounSol.com’s customizable, state-of-the-art service is designed to go beyond the basic compliance requirements. No sensitive information is able to be sent via email, video chats are HIPAA-compliant, and data backs up hourly with 256-bit encryption. Plus, we use a Tier-IV data center to house our servers, with SSAE16, ISO 27001, and PCI 2.0 compliance. Your clients’ safety is our top priority.

#2: Is It Difficult to Use?

Our mental health EMR software was designed by therapists, for use by therapists. Upon first glance, it may not look like a traditional EMR software due to its user-friendly interface—but rest assured, it is. CounSol.com’s software features a selection of templates that can be fully customized to complement your daily work and fit your unique needs. Plus, instead of rifling through a file cabinet, you can now search and click Ctrl + F to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Messages can be securely sent and received from an administrative account, like that of a counselor, to a client portal through our mental health EMR system. CounSol.coml’s online chat option is extremely secure for instant messaging, and all chat sessions are stored in the administrative records for safe review as needed. Furthermore, therapist and counselors’ calendars can be edited privately to only display specific dates for client bookings and online video or chat sessions.
