Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

While Southwest Human Development (swhd.org) utilizes an Electronic Medical Record (EMR), also known as an Electronic Health Record (EHR), and provides a portal for its clients and parents, the specific commercial vendor of their core EHR system and the branding of their primary patient portal are not explicitly named in publicly available information. The organization's Chief Information Officer oversees the EMR and other enterprise applications, alongside "Software Development," suggesting the possibility of custom or integrated systems. A "Login" link is present on the swhd.org website for accessing existing accounts, indicating a client or patient portal exists. Additionally, within the context of their Head Start and Early Head Start programs, a "Parent Portal" is mentioned as an addition to their locally designed "Constructβ„’" software, which is primarily a professional development and coaching platform. This suggests that at least some of their portal functionality might be through a custom or program-specific application rather than a widely recognized patient portal brand like Epic's MyChart. Although one search result mentioned a different organization, Southwest Behavioral & Health Services, implementing DrCloudEHR, this does not apply to Southwest Human Development. Based on the available information, Southwest Human Development uses an EMR/EHR system, and while they have a client/parent portal, its vendor or branding is not a major, widely recognized one, and aspects of their portal capabilities appear to be tied to internal software development and a platform called "Constructβ„’".
