Mental Health Intake: Choose the Right Patient Portal for 3x Clinical Productivity

What makes a behavioural or mental health practice’s business thrive? A steady new patient inflow! It only needs a fully dedicated, less time-taking, and an electronic patient portal.

Mental Health Practice’s old & common Intake Processes

• Majority of the mental health practices still use paper documentation methods in their patient intake process
• New patients will be given forms to fill and the staff will enter them into patient records
• The patients have to coordinate with the practice before appointments to avoid missing schedules
• Staff will need to talk to patients through phone calls to collect some data
• If a patient didn’t fill out forms beforehand, they will likely spend more time at the clinic at the time of the appointment

Challenges with old & common Intake Processes

• A lot of time gets wasted by staff on acquiring information from patients even if they fill out forms by themselves
• Patients need to come ahead sometime at the clinic for filling out forms
• Some information may get manually recorded incorrectly
• Mailing paperwork before appointments may cut time, but still, not every patient remembers to fill out forms
• Mailing forms to patients needs manual work which means a waste of their productive time
• The practitioner may use time from the first session to go through the patient’s information or someone must manually send data from their EHR
