Comparative Effectiveness Study on Major Depression
The second DARTNet project, designed to illustrate the ability to scale up the advanced informatics infrastructure. Focused upon the certification of DARTNet for depression studies, the development of CDRs to assess the comparative effectiveness of anti-depressants, and to test the ability of DARTNet to collect patient reported data on a large scale via the PHQ2/PHQ9. Aim was to conduct an observational comparative effectiveness and safety study of different therapies for major depression in three phases.
The development of CDS support tools for practice tor managing anti-depressants, and the incorporation of PHQ data into the EHR framework for linking to other EHR data. The study was the first attempt to link EHR data, patient reported data, and claims-based data.
