An Electronic Personal Health Record for Mental Health Consumers

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Chronic Comorbid Conditions
• Interventions: Other: personal electronic medical record

• Registration Number: NCT01724125
• Lead Sponsor: Emory University

Brief Summary

Electronic Personal Health Records (PHRs) hold promise in helping reshape healthcare by shifting the ownership and locus of health records from being scattered across multiple providers to an approach that is longitudinal and patient-centered. Given the complex health needs and the fragmentation of care for persons with serious mental illnesses, these individuals could derive particular benefit from a PHR. However, there are currently no established PHRs developed for use in this population.

In order to fill this gap, the investigators propose to develop, test, and disseminate a Personal Health Record for persons with serious mental illnesses and one or more comorbid medical condition. The Mental Health PHR (MH-PHR) builds on an established personal health record which was developed in partnership with medical consumers and is in wide use in a number of communities in the United States and abroad.
