Pharmacist Administration Of Long-Acting Antipsychotic Injections In A Community Setting

On June 29, 2010, Brandy Singer released her presentation which was given in Spokane, WA at the CPNP Annual meeting on pharmacist administration of long-acting antipsychotic injections in a community setting. The poster presentation includes information on a comparison of oral versus long-term injectable antipsychotics. The presentation focuses on the higher compliance rates of patients receiving injections at pharmacies. The presentation covers practice settings, review of literature, the process of injections for patients, and compliance. The benefits of patients getting injections by pharmacists are that it is a more controlled setting where injections are given and next appointments . . .
