Building Primary Care Providers’ Capacity to Address Pediatric Emotional and Behavioral Health

With the current state of increasing mental health care needs in Arizona’s youth, pediatric primary care providers are often called upon to manage increasingly complex mental health concerns. One of the most complex situations for a primary care provider is how to best help manage a pediatric patient who has been discharged from a brief inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Often times these patients come to clinic with little documented information, confusion about their medications, and frustration surrounding their experience in the hospital. These visits require a tremendous amount of energy, skill, and organization to best help the patient and their family system. These visits usually require more time than allotted, and can impact work flow and mental load for the provider for the remainder of the day. Learning how to prepare for and practically manage these visits when they arise can help improve patient care and reduce provider burn out. Join this presentation to learn how a post psychiatric hospitalization protocol can help you set your patients up with a plan for their mental stability and safety.
