Local Education Agencies (LEAs) frequently face logistical challenges in managing school-based mental health services, particularly when you factor in state billing requirements. With the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), LEAs bear an additional layer of responsibility.
LEAs must demonstrate that they have the necessary technology to meet the CYBHI’s operational requirements. This includes the ability to securely collect, store, and transmit data, as well as having the billing infrastructure to submit claims and receive payments.
A strong Electronic Health Record (EHR) software, like AxiomEHR, is crucial to CYBHI’s success. EHR software automates and streamlines Medi-Cal billing requirements, documentation, records security, and claims analytics. Having AxiomEHR on your side is essential to establishing operational readiness and meeting the CYBHI standards for documentation and billing.
What is EHR Software?
An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital version of a paper chart. It is a real-time, student-centered, comprehensive record that makes information available instantly and securely to authorized users.
EHR software features:
- Designed to automate and streamline workflows and support data collection for billing, quality management, and reporting
- Contains evidence-based tools and analytics capabilities that can be used to make data-driven decisions about student outcomes
- Can facilitate information sharing across different settings to support service coordination and provider collaboration with improved speed, quality, safety, and costs
AxiomEHR is a name you can trust. Our team’s extensive California knowledge and expertise position us as a key partner in advancing student care and efficiency through school EHR software. With AxiomEHR, you can confidently meet the CYBHI standards and operational requirements.
How Does an EHR Compare to a Student Information System (SIS)?
Your LEA likely uses a Student Information System (SIS) to manage academic records—but when it comes to supporting school-based mental health services, an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system is essential. An EHR works alongside your SIS to streamline workflows for mental health professionals while ensuring compliance with health-related privacy regulations like HIPAA.
AxiomEHR has the technology California schools need, with integrated Medi-Cal billing and compliance tools and secure collaboration features to help your team deliver coordinated, effective care.

Privacy and Security Measures

Strong security practices are essential for maintaining confidentiality and compliance with these privacy regulations.
Often, the best program outcomes are achieved through data analysis. With AxiomEHR, LEAs can easily pinpoint patterns, progress, and inefficiencies. For those in the CYBHI program, the software’s analytic capabilities extend to billing claims. It can help you track your financial trends, remedy mistakes before submitting claims, and improve your clean claims and reimbursement rates.
Schools are also frequently tasked with reporting to school boards and other stakeholders.

These features make it easy to pull relevant data when reporting on using allocated funds or program metrics.
