Can Point-of-care Testing (POCT) and Assistance From Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) Pharmacists Improve Early Detection and Management of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients Treated With Antipsychotic Medications?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Glucose and lipids, Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c, and 4 other interventions for Hyperlipidemia and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 121 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study was a 12-month, multi-centered, quasi-experimental design to assess point-of-care (POCT) screening/monitoring of subjects on antipsychotic agents for metabolic syndrome. Subjects were also randomized to either an Extended Treatment Group (ETG) defined by receiving comprehensive medication management (CMM) pharmacist interventions or a Usual Treatment Group (UTG) receiving no CMM interventions. All subjects were recruited from three community mental health clinic settings in Minnesota.
