Telepsychiatry and access to medication can be a challenge for individuals and families who struggle with getting to a clinic or pharmacy. Genoa Healthcare’s pharmacy and telepsychiatry teams will discuss how integrated pharmacy and telepsychiatry services improves client outcomes, can augment programs to serve clinic needs, and improves access to care for people with mental health conditions. Our speakers will discuss:
- how telepsychiatry can increase access to care;
- how on-site pharmacy supports medication goals and fills gaps in care such as support for long acting injectables and immunizations;
- how to implement curbside medication pickup and mail & delivery of medication;
- how collaboration with pharmacist is a tool for early intervention support; and
- how the model results in fewer admissions and emergency room visits for clients.
Presenters:
Samir Malik, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Genoa Telepsychiatry
Lilli R. Correll, Vice President of Payer Solutions Development for Genoa Healthcare
