EHR for Mental Health

    At Phase 2 we understand how important it is to support clients in mental healthcare in a personal and careful way.

    What is an EHR for Mental Health?

    An EHR for Mental Health (Electronic Health Record for Mental Healthcare) is a digital system with which mental health professionals can manage client records safely and clearly. Phase 2 goes beyond traditional EHR systems by adding AI-driven automation.

    Guide

    Short answer

    An EHR for mental healthcare is the digital record in which clinicians record everything about a client: intake, diagnosis, treatment plan, session notes, outcome measures, correspondence and billing. In the Netherlands it must comply with the WGBO and GDPR, support the care-performance model (ZPM) and VECOZO, and take as little time as possible.

    What is an electronic health record (EHR)?

    An EHR is software in which clinicians record treatment information digitally and share it with colleagues involved in that treatment. Keeping a record is a legal duty; it used to be on paper and is now almost always digital.

    Modern EHRs run online in the browser, so you can reach the record on a tablet or phone. Phase2 goes a step further: AI drafts the session note, and the clinician only reviews it.

    EPD or ECD: what is the difference?

    Dutch 'cure' settings (hospitals, mental healthcare) speak of patients and an EPD; 'care' and social-domain settings speak of clients and an ECD (electronic client record). In mental healthcare both terms are used and mean the same thing.

    What does a mental-health record contain?

    Typically:

    • Personal and contact details, referrer, GP and insurance
    • People in the client's network
    • Intake, care-need classification, diagnosis and treatment plan
    • Session notes, outcome questionnaires and progress
    • Letters and correspondence
    • Time and activity registration for billing

    Who can access the record?

    Each staff member gets rights based on their role. In principle only clinicians with a treatment relationship can open a client's record, and every access is logged (NEN 7513).

    Registration and billing

    Every activity is registered and billed under the care-performance model (ZPM), or via municipalities for youth care and WMO. Claims go through VECOZO; insurers have no access to the record itself. With Phase2, automatic billing via VECOZO is included in the €60 per user per month plan.

    Can clients see their record?

    Yes. Under the WGBO (article 7:456 Dutch Civil Code) clients may inspect and copy their record and ask for corrections or deletion. Records are normally kept for 20 years (article 7:454).

    Consent for sharing data

    Data may only be shared with other providers when needed for treatment and with the client's consent, which the client can withdraw.

    How to choose an EHR for mental healthcare

    Compare more than the monthly price:

    • How long does note-taking take per session?
    • Does it support ZPM and VECOZO billing?
    • Are there set-up fees, add-on modules or migration costs?
    • Does it run online on any device?
    • Do you get a data processing agreement?
    • Can you try it for free first?
