There were 285 people who said they were compliant with Stage 1 MU. Interestingly, there were others who identified themselves in other ways. Three were "Community Mental Health Centers," even though HITECH specifically included them (but a doc there can attest, so I guess it's ok); they used Meditech and HCA. Five identified as "psychiatric" (Cerner, Design Clinicals, Siemens, and Wellsoft). And 16 as "psychiatric unit (Epic, Cerner, NextGen, McKesson, GE, HCA, Meditech, Midas+, Siemens). Here is data on the 285 identified as "psychiatry." If I get ambitious, I'll come back and hyperlink the names.

After discounting the large system products (eg, Epic, Cerner), you can get an idea about the EHR products being used in outpatient private practices.

Hmm, the numbers are cut off. I placed this here in a Google Doc so you can see all the data.
Thanks for such a comprehensive review, Steve. I use another EHR from www.carepaths.com which costs all of $50 per month for EHR, scheduling, secure messaging, appt email reminder, outcome measures and electronic claims. As a semi-retired psychiatrist, I really wanted to keep my costs WAY down. I am consistently amazed how much bang for the buck,eg, electronic payments are back in about 2 weeks after the appt! Disclaimer: After giving Carepaths a lot of suggestions, they apparently found some of my contributions helpful as they unilaterally decided to waive the $50 fee a couple of years ago. I'd happily pay the $50.

It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too.
