Psychiatric Services
The process starts with a clinical prescreening where the need for medical psychiatric services is identified. A referral is then made to the Psychiatric team for an integrated admission with both the medical prescriber and the clinician. Reasons for referrals may include but are not limited to : differential diagnosing, clients are already on psychiatric medications, clients are at risk for hospitalization, clients are not improving with therapy only, concerns related to suicidal and homicidal thinking, thought process problems and mental status concerns.
Prescriber credentials: Child Psychiatrists, Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician’s Assistants with prescriptive authority.
Medication Management: These are ongoing appointments with prescribers for management of medication issues. Appointments usually are 30 minutes long. Client will be evaluated for target symptom improvement, side effects, etc. Please request longer appointments if client needs special assistance (ADA issues, language interpreters, Disability forms completed, etc).
Medication Only Services: Stable clients who have completed the therapeutic work or stable clients who have an external therapist in the community may apply for the medication only services level of care whereby they are seen at least quarterly by the prescriber and meds only case manager for their continued medication services
Nursing Services: Nurses are available by appointment only in between prescriber appointments to provide assessment and follow up for side effects and refill management. Nursing services include but are not limited to: patient teaching regarding psychiatric medications, assessment and follow up as ordered by prescriber, follow up for side effects and medication refill management.
