SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 1

Population: The analysis population for this outcome measure (accuracy of Kit API) is only participants randomized to one of the two EHR portal arms who also completed the pre-visit questionnaires and thus had questionnaires completed in the electronic health record available for testing Kit API data collection accuracy, as this tool is designed to collect data directly from the health record into REDCap.

Among participants who completed anxiety and depression screening instruments by one of the two EHR methods, this measure evaluates the % of instrument scores collected via Kit API that were identical to the original EHR source completion.
