“…These programs included interventions for clinicians or clinics comprised of one, and often multiple, components including educational sessions (Barnes et al 2008; Nicol et al 2011; Thompson et al 2011; Ramanuj 2013; Velligan et al 2013), posting of printed educational materials (Barnes et al 2008; Thompson et al 2011; Ramanuj 2013), audit and feedback on monitoring practices (Barnes et al 2008; Nicol et al 2011; Ramanuj 2013), paper reminders about monitoring placed in medical charts (Nicol et al 2011; Thompson et al 2011), computerized reminders about monitoring at the time of antipsychotic prescribing (DelMonte et al 2012), and provision of implementation tools (e.g., monitoring equipment) (Thompson et al 2011) and other delivery system and procedural interventions (e.g., hiring of a medical assistant charged with ensuring labs were drawn and results presented on a metabolic tracking form, implementation of a pharmacist or nurse-led metabolic monitoring clinic) (Schneiderhan et al 2009; Velligan et al 2013). Although shown to be effective in increasing rates of metabolic monitoring, these interventions consisted predominately of quality improvement programs evaluated with non-randomized designs in small samples, only some of which included comparison groups (Nicol et al 2011; DelMonte et al 2012; Velligan et al 2013). In addition, none of these interventions targeted individuals with serious mental illness as potential agents of change in improving rates of metabolic monitoring within a patient-centered care framework.…”
