About this study

Official title: Implementation of Harmonized Depression Outcome Measures in a Health System to Support Patient-Centered Outcomes Research

Working with a health system, the investigators will recruit practices to participate in the pilot study, consent and enroll patients with major depressive disorder, and collect the PHQ-9 from those patients at three timepoints (baseline, 6 months post-enrollment, and 12 months post-enrollment). The PHQ-9 will be captured either at an office visit or directly from patients. The investigators will build and implement an open-source SMART on FHIR app to collect key data from the EHR, combine that data with the PHQ-9 results, and present the measurements back to the clinicians. The investigators will then obtain feedback from clinicians on the value and usefulness of the app.

Read the detailed description

The study is a longitudinal, observational pilot study that will assess the utility and value displaying the harmonized outcomes data to clinicians in the clinical workflow using an open-source, SMART on FHIR app. The app will connect with the site EHR, aggregate EHR and PRO data, calculate the outcome measure results, and return the results to the EHR so that they are viewable within the clinician workflow. Baseline data on patient characteristics, treatments, and symptoms will be combined with longitudinal data on outcomes during the study timeframe. All data will be collected from institution electronic medical records (EMRs), PRO portals, and other existing data sources, as needed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Harmonized Depression Outcome MeasuresOther

    This is an observational study where outcome measures will be extracted from patients' medical records and from questionnaires to provide information back to the clinician.

What is being measured

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

  1. Death from suicide

    Patient age 18 or older with a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia who died from suicide, reported in 12-month intervals.

    Measured: 12-month intervals

  2. Improvement in Depressive Symptoms: Remission

    Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 who demonstrates remission defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score less than 5. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Improvement in Depressive Symptoms: Remission

    Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 who demonstrates remission defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score less than 5. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: 6 months post baseline (+/- 60 days)

  4. Improvement in Depressive Symptoms: Remission

    Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 who demonstrates remission defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score less than 5. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: 12 months post baseline (+/- 60 days)

  5. Improvement in Depressive Symptoms: Response

    Patient age 18 or older with a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia and an initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 who demonstrates a response to treatment defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score that is reduced by 50% or greater from the initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Improvement in Depressive Symptoms: Response

    Patient age 18 or older with a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia and an initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 who demonstrates a response to treatment defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score that is reduced by 50% or greater from the initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: 6 months post baseline (+/- 60 days)

  7. Improvement in Depressive Symptoms: Response

    Patient age 18 or older with a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia and an initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 who demonstrates a response to treatment defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score that is reduced by 50% or greater from the initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: 12 months post baseline (+/- 60 days)

  8. Worsening in Depressive Symptoms: Recurrence

    Patient age 18 or older with a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia and an initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 > 9 who demonstrates remission (defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score < 5) of at least two months' duration and subsequently experiences a recurrence of a depressive episode, defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 OR hospitalization for depression or suicidality. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: Baseline

  9. Worsening in Depressive Symptoms: Recurrence

    Patient age 18 or older with a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia and an initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 > 9 who demonstrates remission (defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score < 5) of at least two months' duration and subsequently experiences a recurrence of a depressive episode, defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 OR hospitalization for depression or suicidality. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: 6 months post baseline (+/- 60 days)

  10. Worsening in Depressive Symptoms: Recurrence

    Patient age 18 or older with a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia and an initial Patient Health Questionnaire-9 > 9 who demonstrates remission (defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score < 5) of at least two months' duration and subsequently experiences a recurrence of a depressive episode, defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score > 9 OR hospitalization for depression or suicidality. Patient Health Questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. A higher score means more severe depression.

    Measured: 12 months post baseline (+/- 60 days)

  11. Adverse Events

    Depression treatment-related adverse events, captured using the Frequency, Intensity, and Burden of Side Effects Ratings scale where available and extracted from data routinely recorded in the Electronic Medical Record. The Frequency, Intensity, and Burden of Side Effects Ratings score ranges from 0 to 6. A higher score means more of a burden.

    Measured: Baseline

  12. Adverse Events
