Guardianships in the Mental Health Arena
Court appointed legal guardians make decisions for incapacitated people about personal and medical care, meals, transportation, and even where a person lives. Guardians control assets, manage budgets, pay debts, and make all financial and investment decisions for the people they assist. Our staff need to understand the need to properly request timely guardianships and their role in assisting them in the care of the patient at TPH. Government is responsible for ensuring that guardians understand the significant authority and responsibility of guardianship and our staff needs to understand this as well.”

Antimicrobial Stewardship
Improving antibiotic use is an important public health priority, a healthcare quality measure and a patient safety issue. The goal of an antibiotic stewardship program is to create an environment where improvement interventions will be successful.
This can be accomplished by :
-
optimizing antibiotic prescribing.
-
inform healthcare professionals about proper antibiotic use.
-
encourage open discussion among clinicians and patients.
-
providing a multidisciplinary team in the discussion: physician, IP, nursing, pharmacy and administration.
The CDC’s approach in improving antibiotic uses focuses on data for action, implementation, innovation and education. This approach is most successful.

Prescribing Medications for Opioid Use Disorder
Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is characterized by the persistent use of Opioids despite the adverse consequences of their use. The disorder is associated with a range of mental and general medical comorbid disorders and with increased morbidity and mortality. There are well-established underlying genetic and biological factors for OUD. The medications for OUD, which include Methadone, Buprenorphine and Naltrexone significantly improve outcomes. Due to high prevalence of OUD in the United States, there is an urgent need for expanding the use of medications for OUD among health care professionals.
