Psychiatrists/Psychologists and EHR - Dina
Posted: Oct 16, 2012
Are psychiatrists and psychologists really using EHR or dictating traditionally? I mean, can you imagine going to see a psychiatrist and telling him your story, and while doing so, you look up and see him engrossed in a point-and-click EHR program?
Can an EHR really work for the mental health field since there are so many variables? How in the world can they capture a patient's story in point-and-click canned phrases?
Excellent question - (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]I wonder how the point-and-click electronic record is impacting mental health providers? The mental status exam is pretty repetitive. Something like medication management notes would be easily input into an EMR, but some of the mental health notes I transcribe are very long and detailed and typically 30 minutes or longer.

[ In Reply To ..]I was the transcription supervisor at a mental health facility for 14 years. Four years ago we were all let go due to the psychiatrists and psychologists going with a point-and-click/EMR.
