Medication Management for Mental Health

Treatment That Keeps Patients on Track

Patients who require medication also need expert medication management to ensure treatment is safe, effective, and personalized. Ohel’s experienced psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners work closely with patients, evaluating symptoms, prescribing appropriate medications, and providing ongoing follow-up care to optimize treatment outcomes.

Expert management does not always mean writing a prescription, but always includes comprehensive evaluation and discussion with patients and their families. We collaboratively determine if starting a psychiatric medication will help the patient meet their goals and fits their values. If the decision is made to start medication, quality medication management is vital.

Comprehensive Medication Management at Ohel

Our holistic approach to medication management includes continuous assessment and adjustment, ensuring that each patient receives the most effective treatment plan.

Key components of our Medication Management program:

• Medication Review – Ensuring the right medication is prescribed for the right condition.
• Drug Interaction Assessment – Checking for potential interactions to maximize safety.
• Monitoring Side Effects – Identifying and managing adverse reactions.
• Efficacy Evaluation – Tracking progress to ensure optimal results.

Patient Education and Support

Understanding one’s medication is crucial for effective treatment. Our practitioners educate patients on medication benefits, potential side effects, and proper usage. We also track medication intake to maintain correct, consistent dosages, ensuring adherence and effectiveness.

Team-Based, Patient-Centered Care

“Our doctors and nurses are part of a family-centered treatment team dedicated to treating the whole person,” said Matisyahu Shulman MD, Medical Director.

At Ohel, our team-based approach ensures that each patient receives comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to their needs.
