d. Program Description:
Morbidity and mortality rates are global measures of
a population’s health status as well as indicators of the quality of healthcare
provided. It is well recognized that the prevalence rates of medical comorbidity
and mortality are higher among persons with serious mental illness (SMI)
compared to that of the general population. Recently published surveillance data
from several state mental health agencies identified that persons with mental
illness have 1.2 to 4.9 times higher mortality rates than the population at
large. In light of these dramatic statistics, integration of mental healthcare
and general physical healthcare is essential to reduce cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality in persons with SMI. Recognizing the need to effect change, the
National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) Medical
Directors Council recently published their 13th Technical Report, encompassing
recommendations for change in clinical practices as well as those that target
policy and organizational structural changes. These recommendations were
intended to serve as a clarion call to clinicians, focusing them on the need to
integrate behavioral and primary care into mental healthcare.
In addition to educating psychiatrists and other healthcare professionals on
current data regarding medical comorbidities in mental illness and the use of
antipsychotics, this activity will review recommendations and guidelines that
support changes in clinical practice paradigms, as well as approaches and models
that have been successfully implemented to integrate mental and physical
healthcare. The faculty will also discuss recommendations for changes in the
policy environment and regulatory structures that will facilitate organizational
support for the integration of physical healthcare into psychiatry.
Activity Goal: To present the latest data on medical comorbidities and mortality in persons with mental illness and the use of antipsychotics, as well as recommendations and practical approaches to integrating medical care in psychiatry to improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
· Differentiate varying propensities among atypical antipsychotics for causing metabolic effects.
· Review disparities in healthcare for persons with mental disorders and their impact on patient outcomes.
· Identify practical models, from public mental health settings as well as from private community practice, that incorporate routine monitoring and management of medical comorbidities.
