About this study

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Composite Quality Score

    It is a measure of quality of care. The aggregate score represents the total number of eligible services received for an individual generated by dividing all instances in which recommended care was delivered by the number of times a participant was eligible for the indicator. The score ranges from 0 to 1 with higher scores indicating receipt of recommended care/services.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 month post intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care

    20-item patient self-report instrument that assesses the extent to which patients with chronic illness report receiving care that aligns with the Chronic Care Model. The summary score ranges from 1 to 5 with a higher score indicating patient's perception of greater involvement in self-management and receipt of chronic care counseling.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 month post intervention, 12 month post intervention

  2. Change in Patient Activation Measure

    Assesses a patients' perceived ability to manage their illnesses and their healthcare visits. Patient Activation Measure Scores were summed to calculate the overall raw score then transformed to an activation scale ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater patient activation.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 month post intervention, 12 month post intervention

  3. Change in Health-related Quality of Life

    Measured using the Physical and Mental Component Summary scales of the SF-12. Assesses a patients' perceived health related quality of life.

    The composite physical (PCS) and mental component (MCS) summary scores for the SF-12 are each scored on a 0-100 scale. Higher scores indicate better functioning.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 month post intervention, 12 month post intervention

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jan 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Composite Quality Score (time frame: Baseline, 12 month post intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01890226, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
