Primary care clinicians are often tasked with prescribing psychotropic medications for pediatric patients, but training, time, and reimbursement issues hamper best practice. Psychiatrists and psychologists embedded in the medical home can enhance care coordination via collaborative medication-related roles. This presentation aims to present data from innovative medication consultation models involving psychiatrists and psychologists. Mixed-method approaches provide qualitative and quantitative data regarding improved access to psychotropic medication management for patients and families, improved standard of care and adherence to prescribing guidelines and algorithms, and improved training and learning enhancement for prescribing pediatricians. The innovative medication consultation models using interprofessional approaches will be described and incorporate audience feedback and discussion. This cross-disciplinary spotlight presentation targets real-world skills that clinicians can incorporate into their practices. Implications for COVID-19 and telehealth adaptations will be discussed.
