Psychiatrists- a breed unto themselves

 

 

There is a subset of psychiatrists that are sort of like cats; they resist herding.

Psychiatrists tend to be fiercely independent and solitary.

However, like other specialties, they also will form cohesive groups. Designing practice software for this demographic presents some unique challenges as a result.  Any EMR program for psychiatrists must be adaptable and flexible. The development must be driven by an insider who is intimate with the needs of the group.

Canned programs seem destined to struggle for acceptance. ChartShare was created to overcome these challenges and provide an alternative to the mass produced products currently on the market.

ChartShare was designed and created by a full time practicing psychiatrist, myself.  I took no short cuts in the development phase, which took over 5 years. The result is a program that can be used as is or be tweaked to the needs of the individual user. It is based on the experience of a large group of psychiatrists and support staff.  No software is ever finished, it will always be a work in progress, but all the major components are now in place for the consumer market. As it rolls out, the user base will continue to provide valuable feedback on its design and use. This is an exciting process for me and has been fun from the start.
