The National Council quick poll revealed that 26 percent of behavioral healthcare and mental health organizations with functional EHRs realized improved quality assurance. Twenty two percent had been able to reduce billing errors and 17 percent realized improved clinical productivity with EHR implementation. Providers also point out that the EHR offers critical support to the service improvement process. The EHR promotes the application of protocols and guidelines, helps to maintain contact with individuals who move through a complex system and who are hospitalized in local or state hospitals, lose stable housing, or become entangled in the criminal justice system.
