The CHANGING FACE of Tardive Dyskinesia Treatment Options

Release Date: July 21, 2017
Expiration Date: July 21, 2018

MEDIA:

Online monograph

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of psychiatric and neurologic pharmacists who treat patients with tardive dyskinesia (TD).

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

Psychiatric and neurologic pharmacists are actively involved in the care of patients with long-standing psychiatric illness, many of whom receive antipsychotic medications for extended periods of time. Trained specialty pharmacists have been shown to assess abnormal movements at a skill level comparable to trained physicians and are ideally positioned to assist in the documentation of AIMS/DISCUS scores for the patient at risk. They also may be a primary provider for treatment decisions or part of the treatment team and can guide optimal medication selection. CPNP attendees will review new data with clinical experts and interact via patient cases to ensure they are current with their assessment techniques and knowledgeable about new treatment options.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the conclusion of this knowledge-based activity, participants should be able to:

  • Outline risk factors for development of tardive dyskinesia in the psychiatric setting.
  • Assess new onset or progression of movement symptoms in patients at risk for tardive dyskinesia.
  • Identify treatment options for tardive dyskinesia in the psychiatric patient, using evidence-based and emerging therapies with the highest degree of demonstrated efficacy and safety.
