OPES Health Systems

MHIS

Mental Health Information System

Request a demonstration

Mental health records carry a confidentiality burden that general clinical records do not. A psychiatric history visible to every user of a hospital system is a reason for patients not to seek care at all.

MHIS handles that directly: tighter access control, clinical content designed for psychiatric and psychological practice, and continuity across what are often long treatment relationships.

What MHIS does

Stricter confidentiality controls

Mental health records are restricted beyond standard clinical access, with every view logged and justified.

Structured assessments

Standardised assessment instruments recorded with scores tracked over time to show response to treatment.

Therapy and session notes

Session records for psychology and counselling, separated appropriately from the general clinical record.

Psychotropic medication tracking

Regimens, changes, side effects and adherence recorded across what are often long courses of treatment.

Care planning

Multi-disciplinary care plans with goals and review dates rather than an unstructured narrative.

Risk assessment and follow-up

Risk documented and reviewed on a schedule, with non-attendance flagged for active follow-up.

Who it is for

Psychiatric hospitals and units, community mental health services, and psychology and counselling practices.

Common questions

Who in the hospital can see mental health records?

Only users explicitly granted access, and every access is logged. General clinical staff do not see psychiatric detail by default — that is the point of a separate system.

Does it support psychology practice as well as psychiatry?

Yes. Therapy session records, assessment instruments and outcome tracking support psychological and counselling practice, with or without a prescribing clinician.

Can it handle community and outreach work?

Yes. Contacts made outside the facility are recorded, including missed contacts, which matters where disengagement is the main risk.

How does it handle involuntary admission records?

Legal status and its review dates are recorded explicitly, with the documentation trail such admissions require.

Connected to the rest of the ecosystem

Every OPES system shares one patient identity through OPESCare, so a patient moving between departments or facilities keeps one record rather than accumulating several.
