Clinical Trial Summary

Currently, monitoring of usage and effects of antipsychotic treatment and cardiovascular risk screening in patients with severe mental illness or antipsychotic treatment is not sufficient. A transmural collaborative care model for cardiovascular risk management and medication review for patients using atypical antipsychotics in general practice (TACTIC) was developed. This trial aims to assess the effectiveness of TACTIC regarding predicted cardiovascular risk and mental quality of life.


Clinical Trial Description

It is well established that patients with severe mental illness and patients treated with atypical antipsychotics have excess metabolic dysfunction and are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Currently, monitoring of usage and effects of antipsychotic treatment and cardiovascular risk screening in patients with severe mental illness or antipsychotic treatment is not sufficient. General practitioners experience barriers regarding knowledge, collaboration with psychiatrists, and patient compliance. To overcome these barriers a transmural collaborative care model for cardiovascular risk management and medication review for patients using atypical antipsychotics in general practice (TACTIC) was developed. TACTIC is a one-time transmural intervention comprising three steps: 1) an online information video to inform patients about the cardiovascular risks of antipsychotic use and the procedures of the multidisciplinary meeting, 2) a multidisciplinary meeting with the patient to review his or her antipsychotic use and cardiovascular risk and to provide tailored treatment advice, and 3) a follow-up contact with the general practitioner to translate the treatment advice into an individualised action plan through shared decision making. This trial aims to assess the effectiveness of TACTIC regarding predicted cardiovascular risk and mental quality of life. ;
