Specifications include, but are not limited to: Simplified Information Sharing Among AMHD Related Services. Electronic health records enable practitioners to instantly share vital information regarding patient diagnosis and treatment plans, resulting in improvements in service delivery and efficiency. • Improved Medication Management. Careful monitoring of prescription drugs is a vital component of behavioral health services. Continued support for the current Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) system will ensure providers can track medications in real time, eliminating double-doctoring by patients while minimizing the risk of prescription errors. • Reliable Security and Compliance. Unlike paper-based documents, electronic health records are protected with advanced-level digital security that guards against theft, loss or destruction from fire or natural disasters. • Improved Accessibility. Because AMHD staff must often respond to life-threatening emergency situations such as suicide threats, the ability to instantly access client records from any Internet-enabled device using an EHR will help to improve crisis response services among mental health professionals. • Streamlined Billing. With practice-specific, customizable medical records software, AMHD will be able to reduce costly delays and errors related to traditional paper-based invoicing.
