PSYCKES Implementation

Overview

Access to PSYCKES is granted at the organizational level. Each program within the organization can implement PSYCKES in a way that fits their program work flows and information needs. Here are some basic steps for implementing PSYCKES:

  1. Plan your implementation by engaging with program leadership and staff around benefits of using PSYCKES
  2. Request access to PSYCKES and grant appropriate staff access
  3. Create policies and procedures around expectations of use
  4. Prepare consent forms by filling out organization information and making form available to staff
  5. Train staff on HIPAA, how to keep information secure, and how to use PSYCKES; live and recorded PSYCKES training webinars are available
  6. Support staff on “Go Live” date and monitor use over time for sustainability
