Behavioral/Mental Health Care Software & Services - Threat and Challenges
Behavioral health or mental health, is the scientific study of a person's biology relating to mental well-being, emotions, concept of self, behavior, and ability to function in day to day life. Behavioral health software is the custom-built specialized software used by psychologists for the understanding of behavioral patterns in patients and suggesting them treatment to deal with various behavioral issues such as anxiety, addiction, stress, and depression.
The behavioral/mental health care software & services industry is expected to grow in the forecast period owing to key factors such as Increasing Adoption of BHS, availability of government funding, and government initiatives to encourage EHR adoption in behavioral health organizations. The industry is likely to experience the growth opportunities in the potential for behavioral health software in emerging industrys and rising emphasis on subscription models.
A mental health information system is therefore a useful tool for patient management and monitoring. This allows information to be placed in a centralized, uniform way that is valuable for long-term care [8], especially when physicians or healthcare providers change. Such data can be easy to access whenever further treatment is required. It can also be used to make epidemiological reports, which will lead to a better picture of mental health conditions in a hospital, district, or country.
