Client Background

The client is a psychology specialty focusing on mental and behavioral health care for individuals, couples, families, and groups. They manage patients through EMR software and have built a reputation for delivering compassionate, comprehensive care, gaining popularity in the surrounding region.

Business challenges

Despite their success, the client encountered several challenges in managing patient care:

    1. Inconsistent and Incomplete Medical Records

During daily virtual encounters, clinical psychologists struggled to consistently document essential details, such as patient’s mental behavior, symptoms, ongoing medications, etc. The fast pace of conversations often led to incomplete notes, making it difficult to provide comprehensive care and achieve desired patient outcomes.

    2. Limited Patient Interaction and Engagement

The manual process of creating notes during live encounters was time-consuming, limiting clinical psychologists' ability to engage with patients and fully understand their problems. This affected the quality of care provided.

    3. Challenges in Updating Medical Records to EMR System

HIncomplete notes from virtual encounters also caused issues when updating patient medical records in the EMR software. This lack of comprehensive data made it difficult for clinical psychologists to make informed clinical decisions.
