SUMMARY:Assessing Risk in Psychiatric Practice
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday May 24th Join us for an educational evening covering two very important topics. This risk management course is an interactive audience response lecture allowing you to engage with a risk management specialist to discuss real-life scenarios based on actual calls received by the PRMS risk management helpline. How would you deal with a law enforcement demand for patient records\, a “Friend” request from a patient\, pharmacist report of prescription alteration or an estranged parent demand for records? Next\, we’ll address PDMP use\, which is mandated for CDS prescribing effective July 1st.  Checking PDMP helps avoid the possibility of dangerous prescribing and adverse outcomes.

They are challenging to diagnose even for experienced health care professionals. Delays in diagnosis and treatment lead to poor outcomes for patients as they suffer from effects on mental and physical health. About 30% of people report depression as one of their symptoms when they see their doctor. But fewer than 10% actually have severe depression. Nearly 4% of the U.S. population have a bipolar disorder.

In 2017\, legislation was filed (for the third year) in the Maryland General Assembly that would allow doctors to legally prescribe a lethal dose of medicine at the request of a patient who has been deemed mentally competent and who has received a terminal diagnosis. These bills — HB 370 and SB 354 — were both ultimately withdrawn from consideration. However\, legislation will be filed again during the 2018 Maryland General Assembly. \n  \nAgenda: \n9:30AM-10:00       Registration & Continental Breakfast \n10:00                     Welcome/Introductions \n10:05-10:50           Mr. Whitaker \n10:50-11:35           Dr. Donovan \n11:35-11:45           Break \n11:45-12:30           Panel Discussion: Drs.
