Mental Health Engagement Network (MHEN): Connecting Clients With Their Health Team

Patients with mood disorder or psychotic disorder will be given handheld devices with personal health records to educate, monitor and deliver customizable healthcare tools based on their personal needs. The use of technology has great potential to deliver care more effectively and efficiently. No actual information is on the handheld device - it is accessed from a secure site behind hospital firewalls.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Must be diagnosed with mood disorder or psychotic disorder for a minimum one year
• Able to make informed consent to participate in the study
• Able to understand and speak English to the degree necessary to participate in interviews/focus groups

Exclusion Criteria:

• Younger than 18 or older than 80
