Objective: This paper aims to report our experience of developing, implementing, and evaluating myHealthE (MHE), a digital innovation for Child and Adolescents Mental Health Services (CAMHS), which automates the remote collection and reporting of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) into National Health Services (NHS) electronic healthcare records.
Methods: We describe the logistical and governance issues encountered in developing the MHE interface with patient-identifiable information, and the steps taken to overcome these development barriers. We describe the application's architecture and hosting environment to enable its operability within the NHS, as well as the capabilities needed within the technical team to bridge the gap between academic development and NHS operational teams.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the trends in psychiatric emergencies and self-harm cases at emergency departments (EDs) during the pandemic, comparing data from one year into the pandemic with earlier periods.
- A total of 8,174 psychiatric presentations involving children and adolescents were studied, showing a significant increase in both psychiatric and self-harm presentations in March to April 2021 compared to previous years.
- The results indicated a rise in self-harm cases, particularly among females, highlighting the need for effective follow-up services and attention to mental health issues in pediatric populations.
Background: Interest in internet-based patient reported outcome measure (PROM) collection is increasing. The NHS myHealthE (MHE) web-based monitoring system was developed to address the limitations of paper-based PROM completion. MHE provides a simple and secure way for families accessing Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services to report clinical information and track their child's progress.
