EMDR practice EHR software

An EHR for EMDR practices

A clinician can build an EMDR note from the customizable progress note, whose EMDR auto-text button inserts the phases and interventions, keep the target list in a customized note that follows the treatment plan, and schedule the PCL-5 from the measure library so trauma scores sit charted beside the session notes. The first clinician costs $39 a month.

Choosing an EHR

Best EHR for an EMDR practice

One whose note a clinician can shape to the eight phases of EMDR rather than a generic form, with a trauma measure that runs between sessions. On My Best Practice a clinician can build the note from the customizable progress note, where an EMDR auto-text button inserts the phases and the interventions, record the target memory and the negative and positive beliefs in the note itself, and schedule the PCL-5 so the client completes it in the portal before the session and read the score charted on the Metrics tab.

  • A customizable progress note with an EMDR auto-text button for the phases and interventions
  • The PCL-5 in the measure library, with the PHQ-9 and GAD-7
  • Treatment plans and agenda items that carry forward
  • Telehealth inside the EHR, under a signed Business Associate Agreement
  • Unlimited custom measures at no charge

EMDR on My Best Practice

Targets, phases, and the PCL-5 in one chart

A note shaped to the phase

A clinician can build each session's note from the customizable progress note, where the EMDR auto-text button inserts the phase and the interventions, and record the target and the beliefs worked on, with the CPT code and the diagnosis tab available on the progress note. The EMDR International Association describes the therapy as eight phases in which a session attends to a negative image, belief, emotion, and body sensation, then to a positive belief.

The PCL-5 between sessions

A clinician can schedule the PCL-5 on any cadence. The client receives a reminder, completes it in the portal or in the waiting room, and the clinician can read each score charted on the Metrics tab.

The target list in the note

A clinician can keep the target sequence in a customized progress note that follows the treatment plan, and the agenda items she did not reach wait at the top of the next note.

Screening forms of your own

A practice can add a dissociation screen or any other published measure it is licensed to use as a custom measure, and a clinician can read it scored and charted like the PCL-5.

Virtual EMDR sessions

A clinician can hold a telehealth session inside the EHR, with the client's link and reminder sent automatically, under the Business Associate Agreement My Best Practice signs with every practice. Telehealth is $20 a month per clinician.

An EMDR group practice

An owner can run several offices and every clinician from one account, a supervisor can review and sign notes, and the payroll report lists what each clinician is owed. The group practice page covers each of those.
