Designing Safer Use of Antipsychotics Among Youths: A Human-Centered Approach to an Algorithm-Based Solution.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Guidelines recommend against prescribing antipsychotics without an indication, yet prescription rates remain undesirably high for youths. Information technology can facilitate guideline-based prescribing, but little is known about providers' needs. The Safer Use of Antipsychotics in Youth project is implementing an algorithm-based workflow for peer consultation, care navigation, and expedited psychotherapy access. To optimize workflow for a multisite trial, we engaged providers for input.
