Overview

The Academic-Community EPINET (AC-EPINET) is addressing the challenges associated with the utilization of health care data to improve clinical decision making and services delivery in early psychosis programs for young people in the initial phases of psychotic disorder. The network is implementing a Learning Healthcare System (LHS) to identify performance gaps, drive continuous quality improvement and enable practice-based research. Dashboard displays of outcomes will allow for real-time comparisons within and across early intervention (“spoke”) clinics.

A network of six early intervention clinics are connected to a Regional Hub through advanced informatics. The Regional Hub will:

  • Implement a LHS to identify performance gaps, drive continuous quality improvement, and enable practice-based research.
  • Utilize the EPINET Common Assessment Battery (CAB) and Coordinated Specialty Care Outcomes Network Education (CSC-ONE) informatics platform.
  • Provide governance, oversight, data management, training, and data transfer to the EPINET National Data Coordinating Center.

Additionally, AC-EPINET is conducting a practice-based pilot research study to assess the effectiveness of CSC treatment delivered through telehealth (CSC-TH) compared to standard, clinic-based CSC.
