EHR Health Index™

The Behavioral Health EHR Health Index™

A Leadership Diagnostic for Operational Performance

Most behavioral health organizations don't switch EHRs because of one bad day. They switch because friction becomes systemic.


This tool measures operational strain across eight critical domains—clinical efficiency, revenue, staff morale, and consumer engagement.

Rate each statement:

  • 0 Never
  • 1 Rarely
  • 2 Sometimes
  • 3 Often
  • 4 Always

Be candid. This is for executive clarity.
