Perfecting Peds Patient Care Win 💙 A patient with severe behavioral health needs was experiencing active medication-related harm. Our team identified: • Risperidone-induced hyperprolactinemia with lactation • Subtherapeutic antipsychotic dosing • A QT-prolonging medication combination requiring ECG monitoring • Suboptimal migraine prevention • Expired medications and supplementation gaps We recommended transitioning to a safer antipsychotic, coordinated ECG and laboratory monitoring, optimized migraine therapy, and aligned care across psychiatry, neurology, rheumatology, and primary care. This is the power of pediatric comprehensive medication management: identifying hidden medication risks before they lead to worse outcomes. Strong work Amy Wang, PharmD, BCPPS and Jena Quinn, PharmD, BCPPS! #MedicationSafety #PediatricPharmacy #BehavioralHealth #PopulationHealth #PatientCare #PerfectingPeds
