A Randomized Controlled Trial of an Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) Tele-mentoring Program to Increase Clozapine Utilization
A statewide tele-mentoring program increased prescriber knowledge and competence in clozapine prescribing among those attending most ECHO sessions. Median time to clozapine discontinuation was double in the ECHO group, however, neither this nor rates of prescribing were statistically significantly different from control. Additional support is needed to motivate clozapine prescribing beyond providing education and increasing confidence in clozapine management.
