- W4383314897 abstract "Aims Cardiovascular death is the leading cause of early mortality in patients with schizophrenia. We audited physical health monitoring (via Lester tool) of all patients diagnosed with schizophrenia over the past year. There were 163 patients, 60% were up-to-date on blood tests, but only 28% had an up-to-date ECG. We found poor documentation of lifestyle risk factors (smoking/alcohol/weight) and recording of interventions that were offered to modify these. We felt it was important to try a pro-active model of engagement and intervention in order to improve outcomes and empower patients in collaboration with GPs. Methods A subset of the cohort (35 patients) were invited along for an all-inclusive check up with a doctor at the psychiatry clinic (blood tests, discussion and advice regarding lifestyle risk factors and on-site ECG utilising the new Kardia 6L) lasting 30 minutes. Information was collated and then distributed via a letter to the GP, the consultant psychiatrist and the patient. Results Of the 35 patients invited to attend the physical health check-up, 18 (51%) attended. All patients then underwent physical health monitoring and discussion of how to improve their risk factors. The Kardia6L allowed for QTc monitoring to occur quickly and easily in the outpatient setting and was liked and accepted by patients. We found that most patients were overweight (88%) and were undertaking less than 30 minutes of exercise a day (50%). Half of the patients required active medical intervention (statin, blood pressure or diabetes medication). The Kardia6L allowed us to attain 88% compliance with achieving up-to-date ECGs and provided instant results to the clinicians/patients. Conclusion In this first phase of the quality improvement project we were able to show that half of the patients were willing to attend for in person monitoring. Patient engagement was better as intervention was being delivered at their usual CMHT by their Psychiatrists. The model of a shared letter between patient, GP and psychiatry encouraged shared responsibility for carrying these issues forward. From participating in the project the psychiatry team plan to review patient's medication and develop a robust intervention plan regarding weight loss/exercise/diet from the CMHT in collaboration with GPs as there are clear issues affecting our patient's health long term. The Kardia6L proved to be a quick/easy way to monitor QTc safely in an outpatient setting and allowed us to provide this as one step process at CMHT without requiring referral to Cardiology while improving compliance with annual ECGs." @default.
