Roles of Hospital Type and Community Setting in Rate of Screening for Metabolic Disorders Among Psychiatric Patients

CONCLUSIONS: Despite common resource limitations, screening for metabolic disorders may be driven more by logistics and less by time, finances, or a community's primary care network. Identifying the specific logistical challenges of freestanding psychiatric facilities could aid in the development of targeted interventions to improve the rates of screening for and treatment of not only metabolic disorders but also other common comorbid conditions.PMID:38566560 | DOI:10.1176/appi.ps.20230472
