Purpose: To validate the efficacy of enhanced measurement-based care against standard measurement-based care in patients with major depressive disorder.
Patients And Methods: In this pilot study of an ongoing multicenter cluster randomized controlled trails, 160 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder were enrolled from 2 mental health centers, with a plan to include 12 centers in total. One hundred patients engaged in a six-month evaluation using a technology-enhanced measurement-based care tool, including assessments of clinical symptoms, side effects, and functionality at baseline, two months, four months and six months. Simultaneously, the remaining 60 patients underwent standard paper-based measurement-based care, utilizing the same set of scales over the same six-month period, with assessments at the same time points.
Results: Patients utilizing the enhanced measurement-based care tool demonstrated a significantly higher reduction rate in PHQ-9 scores compared to those using standard paper-based measurement-based care during the two-month follow-up. Additionally, a notable positive correlation was observed between the frequency of enhanced measurement-based care tool usage and the quality of life during the two-month follow-up.
Conclusion: Enhanced measurement-based care has the effect of reducing depressive symptoms. Our study emphasized that using enhanced measurement-based care via smartphones is a feasible tool for patients with major depressive disorder. Our future study, including results from additional research centers, may further validate the effectiveness of enhanced measurement-based care.

Learning Health Systems (LHSs) strive to continuously integrate innovations and evidence-based practices in healthcare settings, thereby enhancing programmatic and patient outcomes. Duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) is a variable worthy of empirical attention, as the construct has been identified as a leading predictor of psychotic spectrum disorder prognosis and, despite the proliferation of early intervention for psychosis (EIP) teams across the U.S.

Background: 2022 survey data showed 29% of Veterans utilized Veterans Affairs (VA) paid health care at a non-VA facility, 6% higher than in 2021. Despite an increase in the number of Veterans accessing care in the community via the MISSION Act Community Care Program (CCP), there is limited information on the quality of mental health care delivered to Veterans in these settings. Further, Veterans report barriers to quality care, including poor communication between CCP and VA providers, which can result in negative patient outcomes.

Introduction: The Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profile (BBSIP) and the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) are used in burn scar assessment to quantify patient health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). These questionnaires were developed using pen-and-paper delivery methods; however, there is a push towards electronic delivery of these questionnaires in both clinical practice and research. Equivalence testing is required to ensure that validity of these paper questionnaires is maintained electronically.

Purpose: Data collection in community organizations can be challenging, but important for evaluative initiatives as well as for therapeutic purposes, such as for organizations engaged in measurement-based care. This study tested the impact of an online measurement data management platform (OMDMP) on mental health assessment response rates at a community-based sexual assault crisis center. We examined whether implementing the OMDMP improved client assessment participation in mental health assessment questionnaires compared to manual data collection methods.

Objectives: (1) to replicate the assessment of the internal construct validity of the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) within the Rasch Measurement Theory framework using a larger multicenter sample size; (2) to compare the different sets of item diagnostic criteria against the measurement ruler constructed from Rasch analysis to understand how those criteria relate to the overall level of persons' consciousness.
Design: Multicenter retrospective study.
Setting: Seven centers.
