Proposal: We would like to demonstrate how patient’s can directly submit mood data from their cell phone using SMS to their EHR. We will use the Johns Hopkins University depression mood tracking SMS technology and adpat it to connect to the Practice Fusion EHR instead of the current physician standalone system. Many in the medical community believe that those who treat depression would be able to dramatically reduce suicide or medication related problems if the doctors had access to daily mood diary data. Pilot data from John’s Hopkins has confirmed that. Working with a major EHR, could show how to accelerate the health outcomes on scale.
