Session Objectives

  • Discuss eConsult and its clinical and financial roles in the

health care system

  • Recognize patient cases that may benefit from eConsult
  • Identify, access and utilize online tools to optimize

prescribing and prevent drug interactions among seniors

  • Work as a team with fellow ASM attendees to optimize

prescribing for complex cases of older adults with mental health and multimorbidity.

Points to ponder

What are some of the differential diagnoses applicable to this patient How might you manage this case if you are her family physician What might be some of the barriers for someone like this patient receiving care in your community

slide-52
SLIDE 52

Barriers to care

Unwillingness to see psychiatrist/ hospital due to poor insight Family physicians may not be familiar with or comfortable switching older antipsychotics and long acting injections May not be able to access care until significant deterioration, hospitalization and involuntary treatment Long Wait Times

  • Wait times ranged from 59 weeks in Nova Scotia to 15 weeks in Ontario
  • 2015 CMA Survey – only 5.5% of psychiatrists responded
  • Total average wait time went from 18.2 weeks in 2014 to 19.8 weeks in 2015

More hypotension and more dizziness compared to other antipsychotics. Can be given subcutaneously. Used in palliative care. No the most appropriate first line medication for VLOSP.
