What is the magnitude of metabolic dysregulation (defined as alterations in fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride levels) and alterations in body weight and body mass index associated with short-term (‘acute’) antipsychotic treatment in individuals with schizophrenia? 2. Does baseline physiology (e.g. body weight) and demographics (e.g. age) of patients predict magnitude of antipsychotic-associated metabolic dysregulation? 3.

  • Special Project
    National Mental Health Benchmarking Project Forensic Forum Special Project Seclusion Medication Audit A joint Australian, State and Territory Government Initiative October 2007 National Benchmarking Project - Forensic Forum Seclusion Medication Audit In previous benchmarking work conducted by the National Benchmarking Project – Forensic Forum on reviewing the Australian Council of Health Care Standards (ACHS) seclusion indicators, significant variation in organisational performance was noted. Participants agreed to further explore, in detail, seclusion events. A detailed audit of seclusion was conducted by participating services in late 2006. Discussion of possible reasons for variation identified that there may be differing prescribing patterns of psychotropic medication. The aim of this sub-project was to better understand the reasons for variation in seclusion practices and prescribing patterns across participating organizations Method: Consumer level data to be submitted for each consumer who was an inpatient on 1st November 2005 for acute in-scope services. Same day admissions are not included in this collection. Detailed specifications for this project were developed by the Queensland Mental Health Benchmarking Unit (QMHBU) with advice and endorsement from the National Benchmarking Project Forensic Forum. Formulae for calculation of Chlorpromazine and Benzodiazepine (Valium) equivalent doses are included in the specifications. This report was compiled by the QMHBU on behalf of the National Benchmarking Project – Forensic Forum; it includes the findings of this sub-project.
