Design and Implementation of an Informatics Infrastructure for Standardized Data Acquisition, Transfer, Storage, and Export in Psychiatric Clinical Routine: Feasibility Study

Abstract

Background Empirically driven personalized diagnostic applications and treatment stratification is widely perceived as a major hallmark in psychiatry. However, databased personalized decision making requires standardized data acquisition and data access, which are currently absent in psychiatric clinical routine. Objective Here, we describe the informatics infrastructure implemented at the psychiatric Münster University Hospital, which allows standardized acquisition, transfer, storage, and export of clinical data for future real-time predictive modelling in psychiatric routine. Methods We designed and implemented a technical architecture that includes an extension of the electronic health record (EHR) via scalable standardized data collection and data transfer between EHRs and research databases, thus allowing the pooling of EHRs and research data in a unified database and technical solutions for the visual presentation of collected data and analyses results in the EHR. The Single-source Metadata ARchitecture Transformation (SMA:T) was used as the software architecture. SMA:T is an extension of the EHR system and uses module-driven engineering to generate standardized applications and interfaces. The operational data model was used as the standard. Standardized data were entered on iPads via the Mobile Patient Survey (MoPat) and the web application Mopat@home, and the standardized transmission, processing, display, and export of data were realized via SMA:T. Results The technical feasibility of the informatics infrastructure was demonstrated in the course of this study. We created 19 standardized documentation forms with 241 items. For 317 patients, 6451 instances were automatically transferred to the EHR system without errors. Moreover, 96,323 instances were automatically transferred from the EHR system to the research database for further analyses. Conclusions In this study, we present the successful implementation of the informatics infrastructure enabling standardized data acquisition and data access for future real-time predictive modelling in clinical routine in psychiatry. The technical solution presented here might guide similar initiatives at other sites and thus help to pave the way toward future application of predictive models in psychiatric clinical routine.

Symptom Monitoring based on Digital Data Collection During Inpatient Treatment of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders – a Feasibility Study

“…Completed data entries were added automatically to the electronic health record. The technical infrastructure for data acquisition, storage and export implemented at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy has been extensively described in our previous work (Blitz et al, 2021). Finally, patients were asked to evaluate their own performance and contentment regarding the handling of the tablet questionnaire (Table 1).…”

Human-Computer Interaction in Digital Mental Health

“…The use of multimodal digital platforms for Technology Enabled Clinical Care (TECC) [156] and informatics infrastructure [157] are emerging as ways to assist faster and better mental health care pathways including for severe psychological distress and suicidality. A fundamental issue is how to not continue adding to the array of digital platforms, apps and electronic medical record systems that are effectively serving in isolation from one another [156].…”
