Course Description

Considering the complexities of managing schizophrenia in the United States, this session addresses the disease of schizophrenia from the patient, clinical expert, and managed care pharmacists perspective.

A comprehensive review of the clinical aspects of schizophrenia, focusing on both national and regional prevalence, diagnosis, progression, complications, and treatment challenges, will be provided. Additionally, regional managed care strategies, payer coverage, and clinical programming are essential for improving access, adherence, and health outcomes for individuals with schizophrenia. Faculty will emphasize the unique challenges faced by the regional at-risk populations, particularly within diverse and underserved communities, and explore the economic impact of treatment resistant and poorly controlled schizophrenia.
