Psychiatry EMR Software for Practices and Groups

Psychiatry combines careful evaluation, ongoing medication management and close monitoring, often across in-person and video visits. OneTouch EMR is a cloud-based EMR and practice management system for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and multi-provider psychiatry groups, with EPCS, labs, telehealth and billing in one place.

Built for the prescriber's side of mental health care

A psychiatry schedule is full of short medication management visits, with the occasional long diagnostic evaluation, and each one depends on an accurate medication history, recent labs and the patient's response since the last visit.

OneTouch EMR was designed by a practicing physician to keep that history in one chart, with templates you shape around your evaluations and follow-ups, and prescribing built into the visit.

Works for
  • Solo psychiatrists
  • Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs)
  • Multi-provider psychiatry groups
  • Telepsychiatry practices
Key features

What psychiatry practices use every day

Psychiatric evaluation templates

Build templates for diagnostic evaluations with history, mental status exam and DSM-5 diagnoses, and for follow-up medication visits.

Medication management visits

Record response, side effects, adherence and dose changes at each visit, with the full medication history on screen.

E-prescribing & EPCS

Send prescriptions electronically with drug interaction checks, including EPCS for stimulants, benzodiazepines and other controlled substances.

Monitoring labs & metabolic tracking

Order and receive labs such as lithium levels and metabolic panels through integrated eLabs, and follow weight, BMI and blood pressure on trend charts.

Rating scales

Add the scales you use, such as PHQ-9, GAD-7 or AIMS, as templates and keep scores in the chart over time.

Risk assessment & safety plans

Document suicide and self-harm risk assessments and safety plans in a consistent, structured format.

Coordination with therapists

Send notes to therapists and primary care physicians by eFax or Direct Messaging, and keep their records in the patient's chart.

Telepsychiatry

Hold evaluations and follow-ups by secure video inside the EMR, then document, prescribe and bill in the same system.

Scheduling & reminders

Book short med checks and longer evaluations with color-coded appointment types and automated SMS and email reminders.

Psychiatry billing

Bill psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, E/M visits and psychotherapy add-on codes, or run a cash-pay practice, from one system.

Paperless intake & patient portal

Patients complete psychiatric history, medications and consents online before the first visit, then view summaries and appointments in the portal.

AI Voice Dictation

Dictate evaluations and follow-up notes hands-free between patients and spend less time charting at night.

Features vary by plan. For example, e-prescribing and eLabs start with Bronze; EPCS, telehealth, eFax and Direct Messaging with Silver; and billing with Gold. Electronic insurance claims come with Platinum, and AI Voice Dictation is an add-on.

For psychiatry groups

Psychiatrists and PMHNPs in one system

Growing psychiatry practices usually pair psychiatrists with psychiatric nurse practitioners, see patients both in the office and by video, and often run more than one location. OneTouch EMR keeps every prescriber, office and telepsychiatry visit in one system, so each patient’s medication history, labs and rating scales follow them from provider to provider.

Pricing is per provider, with lower practice management and billing rates for nurse practitioners and physician assistants, so a PMHNP-heavy group pays accordingly. See how OneTouch works for medical groups →

What a group gets
  • Multiple prescribers and offices in one system
  • Telepsychiatry inside the EMR
  • EPCS for controlled substances
  • Per-provider pricing with lower rates for NPs and PAs
  • Free data import from most other EMRs
Psychiatry billing

Evaluations, med checks and therapy, billed from one place

A psychiatry day mixes long evaluations, short medication visits and visits that include psychotherapy. OneTouch keeps the note and the claim together.

Psychiatric coding

FAQ

Questions psychiatry practices ask

What should a psychiatry EMR do?

It should handle diagnostic evaluations and short medication visits, keep the full medication history, monitoring labs and rating scales in one chart, prescribe controlled substances electronically, and support telepsychiatry and psychiatric billing. OneTouch EMR does all of this in one cloud-based system.

Does OneTouch support EPCS for controlled substances?

Yes. OneTouch meets DEA requirements for Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS), including stimulants and benzodiazepines. Each prescriber needs their own DEA registration.

How is a group with PMHNPs priced?

Pricing is per provider, with lower practice management and billing rates for nurse practitioners and physician assistants than for physicians. See group pricing

Can we see patients by video?

Yes. Evaluations and follow-ups can be held by secure video inside the EMR, then documented, prescribed and billed in the same system.

How hard is it to switch from our current EMR?

We import data from most other EMRs at no charge, typically in 5–7 business days. The EMR can be live within a few weeks, and practice management and billing in 30–45 days.

Why OneTouch

Why psychiatrists choose OneTouch EMR

Independent psychiatrists often end up with therapy-focused systems that are weak on prescribing and labs, or general medical EHRs that don't fit a mental health practice.

OneTouch EMR gives psychiatric prescribers EPCS, eLabs, telehealth and billing, for a solo provider or a growing multi-provider group. It's ONC-certified and ICD-10 ready, and our support team is available by phone and email.
