Medication Management
Our Board Certified Nurse Practitioners in Psychiatry monitor medications includes monitoring, reconciling medications, and ensuring patients get the desired outcomes. It requires a thorough review of prescribed drugs and their possible side effects to create treatment plans and monitor their safety and efficacy.
Our providers use evidence-based research, practice guidelines and clinical judgement in choosing medications. We review the goal of treatment with the medication while understanding the importance of psychotherapy for best efficacy. We know that medication management or psychotherapy alone is not as effective as the two combined.
Medication Safety is one of the Bass Wellness Centers top priorities. We utilize New York State and federal databases to meet compliance and obtain the highest standards for prescribing medications.
Medication management in psychiatry is important for two reasons. The first reason is that medication can help to treat the symptoms of mental illness. The second reason is that medication can help to prevent relapse.
Some people with mental illness require medication in order to be stabilized. However, not everyone needs to take the same type of medication. Psychiatrists work with patients to find the right medication and dosage for them.
Once a patient is stabilized, it is important to continue taking their medication as prescribed. This helps to prevent relapse and keeps the patient healthy. If a patient stops taking their medication, they may experience a return of their symptoms.
