Information Technology & Psychiatry

1) The document discusses the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) and information technology in psychiatry. While EMRs provide benefits like accurate record keeping and data analysis, psychiatrists have been reluctant to adopt EMRs due to concerns about privacy of sensitive patient information and potential impacts on clinical practice and patient interactions. 2) Features of EMRs like patient portals that allow access to medical records can both help patient engagement but also raise issues for sensitive psychiatric diagnoses. Studies also show that while computers in exam rooms do not generally reduce patient satisfaction, they may disrupt non-verbal communication. 3) The document outlines strategies for psychiatrists to mitigate potential negative impacts of EMRs on patient interactions

26 Grinspan, Z. M. et al. “Physician Specialty and Variations in Adoption of Electronic Health Records.” Applied Clinical Informatics 4.2 (2013).
27  Psychiatrist are least likely to adopt EMR Grinspan, Z. M. et al. “Physician Specialty and Variations in Adoption of Electronic Health Records.” Applied Clinical Informatics 4.2 (2013).
Reasons for the reluctance ? • Privacy of sensitive information detailed within mental health records • Amount of data needs to be entered • Subjective findings • Remotely accessible system-Security issues • Access of MHR to child/adolescent’s parents? • Blocking or sequestering extremely sensitive information  “Covered entities” 28
Concerns about altered clinical practice ? • Often unreal- researches from 1990 • Content and quality of patient interactions were preserved • Notes were more clearer and legible • Difficulty with documentation and maintaining confidential information Salomon RM et al. Openness of patients’ reporting with use of electronic records: psychiatric clinicians’ views. J Am Med Inform Assoc 2010;17(1) 29
Patient Portals 30 • A patient portal is a secure online website that gives patients convenient 24-hour access to personal health information from anywhere with an Internet connection.
Facilities provided by Patient portals Patients can: Exchange secure e-mail with their health care teams Request prescription refills Schedule non-urgent appointments Check benefits and coverage Update contact information Make payments Download and complete forms View educational materials 31
Psychiatry and Patient Portals • Most behavioral health notes are now excluded • Many health portals and organizations are moving to full transparency • Driving factors: Research like “OpenNote” study 32
The ‘OpenNotes’ project https://www.opennotes.org/ 33
Studies on ‘OpenNotes’ • Most patients expressed “better control over their care” • More compliant with their medication regime • 30% had worries about privacy issues • No increase in SMS s sent to providers (in contrast to earlier concerns by doctors) • Providers-  Increase in the documentation time(21%)  Slight alteration to the content documented Leveille SG, Walker J, Ralston JD, et al. Evaluating the impact of patients’ online access to doctors’ visit notes: designing and executing the OpenNotes project. BMC Med Inform Decis Mak 2012;12:32. 34
Implementable in Psychiatry ? • Entering a minefield !  How will a patient respond if he/she reads about the personality disorder diagnosis?  What about F20 patient reading that her firm beliefs are ‘delusional’? Kahn MW, Bell SK, Walker J, et al. A piece of my mind. Let’s show patients their mental health records. JAMA 2014;311(13):1291–2. 35
Implementable in Psychiatry ? • TransparencyOpportunities More active participation by patients and may reduce the stigma they experience. Kahn MW, Bell SK, Walker J, et al. A piece of my mind. Let’s show patients their mental health records. JAMA 2014;311(13):1291–2. 36
Better notes are to be created if patients are freely accessing it… • Succinct formulation “medical tweet” • Preventing ‘note bloat’ • Not merely focusing on positive symptoms, but focus on strength and resilience points Patient should feel more ‘like people’ than patients 37
Clinical benefit of EMR and interdisciplinary collaboration in Psychiatry • SUD-delay in referral of more than 10 years • Better tracking of substance use across a multidisciplinary team • Similar pattern of delay in internalizing disorders, eating disorders and even depression 38 Peters TE. Transformational Impact of Health Information Technology on the Clinical Practice of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2017;26(1):55-66.
CDS-Clinical decision Support 39
CDS-Clinical decision Support  Computerized alerts and reminders for providers and patients  Clinical guidelines  Condition-specific order sets  Focused patient data reports and summaries Documentation templates  Diagnostic support  Contextually relevant reference information 40
Electronic Clinical Decision support (CDS) 5 ‘Rights’ Right information To Right people Through Right channels In Right intervention format At the Right point 41
Example: Advantages of timely alerts in CDS • Suicide risk assessments were completed in only 38% people who later committed suicide1 • Screening questionnaires in the waiting room or via a secure email before patients appointment could have helped ? 1 Milton J, Ferguson B, Mills T. Risk assessment and suicide prevention in primary care. Crisis 1999;20(4):171–7. 42
Impact on doctor patient relationships 43
The clinical visit Dr 44
Computer in consultation room • Need active attention on the monitor and keyboard • Computer as a ‘third party’ in the room 45
Effect of EMR on patient interaction • Less data for psychiatry • Extrapolation from few studies in psychiatry and many studies in general medicine • Difference in population and their needs to be kept in mind while interpreting results 46
Evidence… • The General medical literature over the last 20 years Consistently shows that computers in the examining room do not have a negative effect on Patient perceptions of the encounter May even increase patient satisfaction Koide D, Asonuma M, Naito K, et al. Evaluation of electronic health records from viewpoint of patients. Stud Health Technol Inform 2006;122:304. 47
Evidence… • Physicians using an EHR produced more complete assessments1 • But they tend to have less focus on psychosocial issues or issues of how illness affects a patient’s life1 • Use of EHR can alter or disrupt nonverbal communication between physician and patient, which can alter rapport building, patient comfort, and disclosure patterns.2 1). Makoul G, Curry RH, Tang PC. The use of electronic medical records: communication patterns in outpatient encounters. J Am Med Inform Assoc 2001;8(6):610–5. 2). Mcgrath JM, Arar NH, Pugh JA. The influence of electronic medical record usage on nonverbal communication in the medical interview. Health Informatics J 2007; 13(2):105–18. 48
Important to note that… • What is important for psychiatry may be ancillary to general medical visit • So the impact may be more 49
How to manage these concerns 1. Review the patient’s chart before the visit allowing for immediate engagement 2. with the patient rather than an initial chart review. 3. Learn/practice touch typing 4. Defer extensive data entry until after the visit. 5. Set aside time during the visit to disengage from the computer and focus full attention to patient and family Krishna R. The Impact of Health Information Technology on the Doctor-Patient Relationship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2017;26(1):67-75. 50
How to manage these concerns 6. Set aside time for completing work on the computer. 7. Talk to patients and families about what you are doing on the EHR to maintain engagement. 8. Computer can be operated while facing the patient/family to maximizes opportunities to monitor affect and nonverbal cues Krishna R. The Impact of Health Information Technology on the Doctor-Patient Relationship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2017;26(1):67-75. 51

Tele-mental health • Providers and patients/families at different locations interact in real time • Relatively low-cost technology solution • Relies largely rely on verbal communication and observation 55 Luxton D, Nelson E, Maheu M. A practitioner’s guide to telemental health: how to conduct legal, ethical, and evidence-based telepractice. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association Press; 2016
Tele-mental health • May be a particularly good fit for younger age group. • Saves the time and expense of travel • Both rural and urban settings • Connecting systems of care and enhancing care coordination. 56 Supervised settings Unsupervised settings

e-Prescribing 62
e-Prescribing • e-Prescribing is defined as the process of electronically generating, transmission and filing a prescription order by a physician, instead of using paper or faxed prescriptions 63 • Physicians can transmit an electronic prescription to a pharmacy directly from the point of care. • e-Prescribing improves accuracy, enhances patient safety and quality of care since there is no handwriting for the pharmacist to interpret Virk P, Bates DW, Halamka J, Fournier GA, Rothschild JM.

MOOC • Typical MOOC- Course of few weekss, broken down into weekly modules • Each module-A single or few topics related to the subject • The format of teaching is through video lectures, demonstrations, essential readings and quizzes • Students can put forth their questions and opinions in discussion boards moderated by content providers • Courses typically require somewhere between 3 to 10 hours of participant involvement per week • Assessment of the participants is typically through multiple choice questions, extended matching questions and true-false type questions 97 S Sarkar et al. Adapting massive open online courses for medical education. International Journal of Advanced Medical and Health Research. 2015;2(1):68.
Web based learning/e-Learning • MOOC • Set of educational material hosted on an internet site, accessible to the learners through their devices • Thousands of students-hence acknowledged as massive 98
MOOC- Advantages  Ease of access  Attract students from all over the world, offering a chance of cross-fertilization of ideas from different parts of the globe  Globally renowned professors may reach out to a large number of students through these courses, which they might not be able to cater through regular classroom-based courses  Also, a course once made can be delivered a number of times, thus reducing the recurring efforts and costs.  Less administrative hassle and lower costs of delivery of the educational content. 99 S Sarkar et al. Adapting massive open online courses for medical education. International Journal of Advanced Medical and Health Research. 2015;2(1):68.
MOOC- Disadvantages • High dropout rates. • Assessments in MOOCs rely on self-reported fidelity to honour code • MOOCs are usually introductory short-duration courses which can hardly be substitutes of in- depth full-time courses. • How the employers and funders would appraise ? • There is limited financial incentive for course content developers 100 S Sarkar et al.

  • 48.
    Evidence… • Physicians usingan EHR produced more complete assessments1 • But they tend to have less focus on psychosocial issues or issues of how illness affects a patient’s life1 • Use of EHR can alter or disrupt nonverbal communication between physician and patient, which can alter rapport building, patient comfort, and disclosure patterns.2 1).

    How to managethese concerns 1. Review the patient’s chart before the visit allowing for immediate engagement 2. with the patient rather than an initial chart review. 3. Learn/practice touch typing 4. Defer extensive data entry until after the visit. 5. Set aside time during the visit to disengage from the computer and focus full attention to patient and family Krishna R.
