AAPP Practice Expansion Toolkit: The Role of BCPPs at CCBHCs

Psychiatric pharmacists integrated into CCBHCs can help address key requirements:

1. Treatment planning: Managing  medications for substance use disorders, supporting evidence-based use of psychotropic medications through comprehensive medication management (CMM) and psychotropic stewardship
2. 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)
3. Monitoring: Monitoring and managing adverse effects of psychotropic medications
4. Quality: Assessing clinically significant drug-drug and drug-disease interactions and promoting regulatory standards
