Looking for a developer that can transform the medically-oriented OpenEMR into an EHR for a mental health / psychology practice. I don’t know whether this is too much of a stretch. I would love to see an example where you’ve already done this kind of work.
Thank you,

I’m one of the OpenEMR software developers and have built a separate therapy tools platform for CBT homework and psychometric assessments that I’m in the process of integrating into OpenEMR.
I’m very much interested in knowing what features you currently are dissatisfied with or are missing altogether that we can improve for you and other organizations like you.
Hi Stephen,
I am looking for many features for a mental health practice. It is good to know that you have worked on this in the past. Can we schedule a call? What is the best way to contact you?
I’d like to bump this because it also applies to me. I am early on in learning DevOPS and AI-assisted programming, and I am also a full time owner/practitioner in a multi-disciplinary mental health practice.
Welcome to the forums @codeverlan!
I am curious if there are any plans to create a BH/Psych specific customization to OEMR core? Similar to the Clinic, Sports, Eye modules?
I’d be more than happy to contribute in any way I can from a UI/UX perspective and also from a BH MD POV.
I run a Psychotherapy and Counselling Clinic, I would be keen on collaborating with others who have similar expertise in implementing OpenEMR in psychology related settings.
Welcome to the group @Therapy_help . What would you like to talk about? In my opinion “turning” the program into one for pyscho therapy is not a big lift. At the very heart of any practice is the forms that are filled out to document a visit for payment by payers. At the heart, the program is already configurable for any type of clinic. The LOINC forms that @sjpadgett put in can give you some pre-built forms depending on your specialty. The Layout Based Forms can accommodate almost any basic level data capture. This depends on your tolerance to learn how to use the LBF interface. The patient portal is very robust in communicating documentation with patients that need there signature. There is already a lot in the system that is generic to health care. The patient dashboard has a complete section in the configuration to turn off a lot of the features on the dashboard and keep only the basic necessities. If you need super duper fancy stuff, @adunsulag has you covered. So, tell us what your dream system looks like and does and we can mobilize the elves to deliver it to you because. Hi, ho, Hi, ho, it is is off to work we go.
Thank you for your reply. Is it possible to have a meeting and understand how it could be done?
Sure, how do you want to meet? There is a meeting today and every Tuesday at 2 PM EST. You can PM me for a closed meeting.
