Talkiatry is a telemedicine service connecting psychiatrists with patients suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and other common mental health and behavioral problems. This market is an especially complex area of health care for many reasons. In this video, CEO Robert Krayn talks about how Talkiatry addresses the needs of patients by leveraging their eClinicalWorks EHR platform.
Remote psychiatry is a crucial need, because psychiatrists are extremely unevenly distributed. If you’re in New York City or Boston, you can corral a psychiatrist by accosting people on the street. In a remote rural are, they may be few or none. Talkiatry works with local health care institutions to find patients for its telemedicine service.
Psychiatrists are also quite varied. They have adopted a wide range of treatment modalities and philosophies. They might also specialize in patients with certain ages or diagnoses. One of the advantages of eClinicalWorks is its flexibility. It is also more open to the integration of custom apps than most EHRs.
Different psychiatrists also ask for different types of information about their patients, requiring great flexibility in the information sent during a referral. To make the task even harder, according to Krayn, 45% of psychiatrists don’t have a certified EHR. He can work with these providers, but also recommends they adopt eClinicalWorks because it combines many needs: billing, telemedicine, etc.
