Built by a psychiatrist, for psychiatrists

Generic EMRs are built for billing workflows, not clinical thinking. They force psychiatrists into documentation patterns designed for primary care — free-text blobs, template-driven notes, and workflows that prioritize throughput over understanding.

For a practice grounded in understanding patterns across brain, body, relationships, environment, and meaning, that's not just inconvenient — it actively works against the clinical model.

root₂SUMMIT was designed around actual psychiatric workflows — starting from a Google Sheets prototype that had been refined through years of clinical use. Every feature was built because the workflow demanded it, not because a product roadmap suggested it.

The result is an EMR where documentation follows clinical thinking, transcripts become structured chronologies, assessments are organized by problem, and nothing writes to the chart without clinician review.

Dr. Wan Yang is a psychiatrist, scientist, and mom. She holds an MD-PhD from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, with doctoral work in genetics and cancer immunology, and undergraduate degrees in neurobiology and biochemistry from the University of Washington.

She runs a solo integrative psychiatry practice serving patients in Maryland, Utah, and Illinois — and built root₂SUMMIT because she needed it for her own work first.

Multiple things can be true simultaneously. Complexity should be preserved, not flattened. Labels are shorthand — patterns explain how things actually work.

This principle drives both the clinical practice and the software. The EMR doesn't force you to pick one diagnosis and document around it. It helps you hold the full picture — across domains, across time — and act from that understanding.
