Clinical pharmacists have recently been added to the staff in the behavioral health clinics at the Martinez and Mather campuses and have been tasked with improving cardiometabolic monitoring rates. The VA follows monitoring guidelines established by the American Diabetes Association and the American Psychiatric Association: Personal/Family history: baseline and annually Weight/body mass index (BMI): baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, quarterly Waist circumference: baseline, annually Blood pressure: baseline, 12 weeks, annually Fasting plasma glucose (FPG): baseline, 12 weeks, annually Fasting lipid panel (FLP): baseline, 12 weeks, annually OBJECTIVE: Use the clinical dashboard to identify and contact patients requiring follow up for cardiometabolic monitoring to meet performance measure goals for monitoring rates. Evaluate changes in dashboard results to determine effect of clinical pharmacy interventions. METHODS: The clinical dashboard was used to create a list of all patients prescribed antipsychotic medications. This list was exported to Microsoft Excel and included the most recent date and value of each of the following cardiometabolic parameters: blood pressure (BP), BMI, glucose, HgbA1c, triglycerides (TG) and HDL cholesterol. Cells with dates that were greater than one year in the past and cells with values above the predefined goals were highlighted to easily identify patients requiring monitoring or follow up for management of cardiometabolic syndrome. Using this list, the clinical pharmacist manually reviewed patients with monitoring parameters greater than one year old and contacted them via telephone or letter requesting that they have fasting blood work drawn at their local clinic or come into clinic to have their BP or weight checked. The patient was then contacted by the clinical pharmacist via telephone to review the lab results and discuss any possible lifestyle or medication changes that may be needed to help them reach the goals. RESULTS/DISCUSSION: All cardiometabolic syndrome monitoring performance measure goals were met at the Martinez site following intervention from the clinical pharmacist. Pre-intervention data was not captured, but the impact can be seen when comparing this with data from another site within the Northern California Health Care System which did not have a clinical pharmacist working on this measure. CONCLUSION: Use of a clinical dashboard and intervention from a clinical pharmacist in the mental health clinic had a large impact on the rate of cardiometabolic syndrome monitoring.
