Mental Health Data Analytics

Ref: http://www.emr-ehrs.com/mental-health-electronic-health-records.php
















This open source EHR, developed by the U.S. Veteran’s Administration, is, like PracticeFusion, a more general software solution not explicitly built for mental health offices. That said, the depth of its mental health add-on module is such that it warrants inclusion on this list.


VistA includes a strong mental health module. This module includes DSM-IV and ICD-9 diagnoses, psychological tests and interview results, and a mental health addiction severity index. Additionally, VistA is a proven system, having been in use for decades, and comes with frequent support and updates from the government, as well as a robust support community and multiple versions to use.
However, VistA is an older program, and despite continuous updates does have a somewhat dated-looking user interface. Additionally, because VistA is a fully integrated suite of solutions, you may find yourself constrained within the VistA ecosystem, and if you’re a solo practitioner or smaller practice VistA’s size and comprehensiveness may not be a good fit for you.
