Psychiatric pharmacists integrated into CCBHCs can help address key requirements:
Treatment planning: Managing medications for substance use disorders, supporting evidence-based use of psychotropic medications through comprehensive medication management (CMM) and psychotropic stewardship
Care coordination: Reviewing medication changes following inpatient discharges and communicating changes with the primary providers (e.g., reducing errors in the transition of care process)
Monitoring: Monitoring and managing adverse effects of psychotropic medications
Quality: Assessing clinically significant drug-drug and drug-disease interactions and promoting regulatory standards
