摘要：

Metabolic syndrome is common in patients prescribed atypical antipsychotic medications to manage their psychiatric symptoms. However, screening for metabolic syndrome remains low. A combination of clinician and patient factors often leads to suboptimal screening. A multimodal quality improvement strategy to increase adherence to the American Diabetes Association/American Psychiatric Association metabolic syndrome screening guidelines was evaluated at a private practice. Screening increased after implementation of an electronic prompting tool and staff/patient education.
