Poor quality of medical care is a major contributor to excess medical morbidity and premature
mortality in persons with serious mental illnesses (SMI). To address this problem, community
mental health providers are increasingly partnering with safety net medical providers to
develop behavioral health homes, integrated clinics in which persons with SMI receive
coordinated medical and mental health care. However, behavioral health homes have faced
logistical and privacy challenges in integrating electronic medical records across
organizations.
This application proposes to develop and test a mobile Personal Health Record (mPHR) to
overcome this problem while more fully engaging patients in their health care. The study will
develop, test, and disseminate the mPHR. The investigators will develop the app building on
experience and preliminary data from a PC-based PHR project, and link it to the medical and
mental health EHR in a behavioral health home. Next, the investigators will conduct a
randomized trial of the mPHR in 300 subjects randomized to the mPHR or usual care.
