We are excited to announce a landmark collaboration with the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to advance quality psychiatric care and accelerate research. "At Osmind, we emphasize the importance of clinicians participating in evidence-generating medicine to help shape the future of mental health care, especially as the psychiatric field begins to embrace new treatments and precision psychiatry,” says Carlene MacMillan, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Osmind. “Clinicians in private practice juggle many competing demands so it is crucial we make participation both easy and worthwhile to them." To make participation in evidence-generating medicine easier for busy private practitioners, we’re integrating APA's diagnostic and outcomes measures directly into the Osmind EHR. We're starting with the DSM-5-TR Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure, which joins our library of 40+ measures, enabling clinicians to contribute to research at the point of care. We’ll also explore an integration between the Osmind EHR and PsychPRO so that clinicians using the Osmind EHR can participate effortlessly in the PsychPRO registry. "PsychPRO is the tool healthcare organizations need to guide their efforts to deliver quality mental health care and improve patient outcomes," says Nitin Gogtay, M.D., APA Chief of Research and Deputy Medical Director. "Our collaboration with Osmind will allow us to strengthen PsychPRO today, and long-term offers promise to broaden the scope of our impact on psychiatry and on the patients we serve.” We are delighted to work with the APA, and proud to enable independent practices to contribute to the evolution of the field and elevate their own evidence-based practices. https://lnkd.in/g4RU7Ftt

Precision psychiatry is about to takeoff, but is our healthcare system ready? In a recent article published in Fierce Pharma, L. Alison McInnes MD, MS and Jimmy Qian explore the exciting advancements in psychiatry and the challenges we face in implementing them. Let's dive in: Progress: • Characterization of neural circuitry for specific symptoms • Development of novel mechanisms of action (MOAs) for targeted therapies • Potential treatments for previously untreatable conditions Challenges: • Lack of consensus on measuring transdiagnostic symptoms • Increased demands on clinicians to navigate complex treatment pathways • Difficulty in diagnosing and measuring newly treatable conditions The solution? A Learning Health System that bridges research and clinical care by: 1️⃣ Aligning stakeholders across the healthcare spectrum 2️⃣ Deploying precision measurements at the point of care 3️⃣ Generating well-characterized patient cohorts for ongoing research As we move towards a causality-based nosology in psychiatry, collaboration is key. Husseini Manji, M.D., F.R.C.P.C.., Osmind Strategic Advisor emphasizes, "We must work collaboratively across sectors to create a seamless integration of precision diagnostics and targeted therapeutics into everyday practice and real-world outcomes."
