  1. I think someone is a little guilty of oversimplification… or hasn’t had to run the process too many times on her own… There are definitely major benefits to EHRs and other behavioral health software, but it’s not quite that easy. Data portability and ease of access is the primary benefit of EHRs, for many, efficiency doesn’t seem to be there strongest point. They’ll get there though…
