Discussion• Overall positive experience but lower than
desired utilization during 1st year– Pharmacist presence in clinic during active patient
care important
– Need for pharmacist to be proactive
– Continued discussion of roles and responsibilities of each member of multidisciplinary team
![Page 21: Pharmacist Assisted Management of Complex Psychiatric Patients in Primary Care Casey Gallimore, PharmD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Ken Kushner, M.A.,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e795503460f94b792d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Future Directions
• Participation of pharmacy resident• Comprehensive medication reviews of medically
complex patients (MTM visits)• Quarterly chart reviews of complex psychiatric
patients (referral to consulting psychiatrist)– Medication regimen evaluation– Laboratory monitoring– AIMS assessment
![Page 22: Pharmacist Assisted Management of Complex Psychiatric Patients in Primary Care Casey Gallimore, PharmD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Ken Kushner, M.A.,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e795503460f94b792d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Future Directions
• Collaboration with data management specialists to identify patients prescribed psychotropic medications requiring complex monitoring– Lithium– Carbamazepine, valproic acid– Antipsychotics
