Diary cards and chain analysis that carry across every session.
Structured diary cards, chain analysis, and the four skills modules — built with the custom form builder and carried forward, not re-keyed from a photo of a worksheet.
DBT tracks emotions, urges, behaviors, and skills every week. Most EHRs give you one box.
- Diary cards photographed and lost in an inbox
- Chain analysis sketched on paper, never charted
- Skills practice assigned, then untracked
- An AI scribe that wants to record the session
A weekly, data-dense model needs documentation that keeps the data.
DBT depends on between-session data: diary cards reviewed at the top of each session and chain analyses that map the path to a target behavior. CoralEHR turns both into structured tools — a free digital diary card and a chain-analysis builder — so the week is ready to review and the chain is captured in a form that drafts into the note. No paper cards to chase, no session recording, and you sign every note.
