Abstract

Schizophrenia is associated with multiple relapses and substantial acute and non-acute hospital costs. We are studying schizophrenia management patterns of six outpatient mental health programs to identify best practices in hospital outpatient services for this patient population. This report discusses the preliminary themes and trends contributing to adherence to treatment, and positive clinical outcomes. Themes include continuity of care and managing transitions, managing medical comorbidities, treating to wellness, the importance of communication within the multidisciplinary teams, and medication management. Ideas that support the promotion of these themes are also presented.
