2017 Health Information Technology Committee Report
(Gregory Harris, MD, Resident Co-Leader John Torous, MD)
The Health IT committee has been working on several initiatives in the past year. We are working to organize a CME conference on mental health technology that will help MPS members be more informed about how to use technology in clinical care. The agenda for the conference is based off a survey of MPS members need that we conducted last winter.
We have also been supporting the American Psychiatric Association mental health app evaluation framework (https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/practice/mental-health-apps/app-evaluation-model). Finally, our group has contributed newsletter updates to educate members about mental health technology.
