INTRODUCTION: Measurement of mental health is challenging; however, many solutions may be found through the use of health information technology. METHOD: This article reviews current approaches to measuring mental health, focusing on screening, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. It then identifies several key areas in which health information technology may advance the field and provide reliable and valid measurements that are readily available to and manageable for providers, as well as acceptable, feasible, and sustainable for selected populations. RESULT AND CONCLUSIONS: Although new technologies must overcome many challenges, including privacy, efficiency, cost, and scalability, it is an exciting and fast-growing field with many potential applications and clinical benefit.
