MS CATCH: Closing the Gaps in Depression Care for People with MS by Closing the Information Loop

Abstract

Depression occurs in over 50% of individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and can be treated using manymodalities, yet it remains under-reported by patients, under-ascertained by clinicians, and under-treated. To enhancethese behaviors to promote depression care, we engaged multiple stakeholders to design a first-in-kind digital healthtool. The tool, MS CATCH, closes the communication loop between patients and clinicians. Between clinical visits, thetool queries patients monthly about mood symptoms, supports patient self-management, and alerts clinicians toworsening mood via their EHR in-basket. Clinicians can also access a MS CATCH dashboard displaying patients moodscores over the course of their disease, and providing comprehensive management tools (contributing factors,antidepressant pathway, resources in patients neighborhood).
