A HIPAA-compliant behavioral health EMR giving care teams one shared clinical picture across five facilities in three states.
Context, dates, and role
Clients: behavioral health facilities in three states (names withheld except where recommendation letters are published).
Dates: 2004–2009, plus long-run production operations
Role: Lead software engineering manager, team of 10 engineers
The problem and constraints
Care teams across psychiatry, nursing, psychology, social work, and other disciplines needed shared clinical data while staying HIPAA-compliant across states.
What Daniel built or led
- Led the engineering team building the EMR and its multi-discipline visualization
- Owned long-run operational stability across facilities
Technical approach
- HIPAA-compliant clinical data platform
- Data visualization across eight medical disciplines
Results and limitations
- Deployed in five facilities across three states, hundreds of clinical users (self-reported)
- 40% team productivity gain (self-reported)
- 20% clinician satisfaction lift (self-reported)
- Letters of recommendation from VCU and Florida State Hospital (public artifact)
Limitations: The 40% productivity gain and 20% satisfaction lift are self-reported. The available project brief and recommendation letters do not document the baseline values, evaluation window, respondent count, or survey instrument, so the percentages cannot be independently reproduced from the published evidence.
