Randomized Trial of a Mobile Personal Health Record for Behavioral Health Homes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Behavioral health homes, which provide onsite primary medical care in mental health clinics, face challenges in integrating information across multiple health records. This study tested whether a mobile personal health record application improved quality of medical care for individuals treated in these settings.

Methods

This randomized study enrolled 311 participants with a serious mental illness and one or more cardiometabolic risk factors across two behavioral health homes to receive a mobile personal health record application (N=156) or usual care (N=155). A secure mobile personal health record (mPHR) app provided participants in the intervention group with key information about diagnoses, medications, and laboratory test values and allowed them to track health
