The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has announced the launch of PsychPRO 2.0, a next-generation technology platform for the PsychPRO mental health registry offering enhanced options for engaging with patients, tracking outcomes, and streamlined data collection for quality reporting.
The PsychPRO mental health registry was created so that psychiatrists could help lead national efforts to improve clinical research and the quality of care, ease administrative burdens on individual physicians, help them meet maintenance of certification (MOC) requirements, and reduce overall costs for mental health care delivery.
PsychPRO 2.0 is designed with flexibility and scalability in mind, and has increased reporting capabilities, standardized data inputs, various options for collecting patient-reported data, and a pricing structure that encourages participation from a greater number of clinicians and health care systems.
The new platform will help APA build on existing efforts to implement an infrastructure to develop models of care, such as Learning Health Systems and Quality Networks. These models are sought out by health care systems across the country who are seeking to improve the quality of care they offer and maximize their impact in their communities in the most cost-effective way possible.
