Clinical dilemmas, schizophrenia treatment and the potential role of LAIs

For people with schizophrenia, clinical decisions are made at various stages during their patient journey, including the emergency department, inpatient, and outpatient settings. Assessing the unique clinical aspects of each situation and engaging with the patient appropriately is important to achieving optimal outcomes.

At the American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting in 2022,    Dr. John Kane (Professor of Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, New York) discussed the development of SCOPE—a new educational tool for clinicians working in various care settings.
