{"title":"Licensure Actions Against Psychiatric Clinicians: A Cohort Analysis of National Practitioner Database Reports.","authors":"Akanksha Dadlani, Jeffrey A Mills, Jeffrey R Strawn","doi":"10.1097/PRA.0000000000000831","DOIUrl":"10.1097/PRA.0000000000000831","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To examine trends and predictors of administrative actions against psychiatric clinicians' licenses between 2002 and 2022.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Data from the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) identified 6400 disciplinary actions against psychiatric clinicians' licenses. Linear trend models assessed the trends of disciplinary actions across mental/physical health, licensing/legal issues, and unprofessional conduct. A first-order autoregressive model with a time indicator interaction term evaluated structural breaks (ie, a sudden or gradual change in the characteristics of data in a time series). Predictors of claims were assessed using logistic regression.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Since 2002, disciplinary actions related to clinicians' mental/physical health (P=0.004) and licensure/legal issues (P=0.018) have decreased, while actions related to unprofessional conduct remained unchanged (P=0.358). Declines emerged in 2012 for mental/physical health (break coefficient -0.367; P=0.026) and in 2009 for unprofessional conduct (break coefficient -0.199; P=0.013). Clinicians facing disciplinary actions related to physical/mental health were significantly younger than those with legal/licensure issues (P<0.001). While the average age remained stable for mental/physical health-related actions, the average age increased for actions related to licensure/legal claims and unprofessional conduct.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The decrease in disciplinary actions related to physical/mental health may reflect better access and acceptance of treatment of clinicians, while the reduction in licensure/legal actions may indicate policy shifts.

Second, the prescriber cannot tell which drug(s) is/are producing either a beneficial or an adverse effect. This approach may stem from prescribers thinking that if they have made a diagnosis then they need to treat it with a drug labeled for or clinically used to treat that indication rather than taking a more conservative approach.

Digital psychiatry encompasses a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from digital phenotyping, smartphone applications, wearable devices, virtual/augmented reality, and artificial intelligence (AI). This convergence of digital innovations has the potential to revolutionize mental health care, enhancing both accessibility and patient outcomes. However, despite significant progress in the field of digital psychiatry, its implementation presents a plethora of challenges and ethical considerations. Critical problems that require careful investigation are raised by issues such as data privacy, the digital divide, legal frameworks, and the dependability of digital instruments. Furthermore, there are potential risks and several hazards associated with the integration of digital tools into psychiatric practice. A better understanding of the growing field of digital psychiatry is needed to promote the development of effective interventions and improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The overarching goal of this review paper is to provide an overview of some of the current opportunities in digital psychiatry, highlighting both its potential benefits and inherent challenges.

We report the case of an 18-year-old male with a history of depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, polysubstance use, and previous suicide attempts who presented to the hospital from a residential eating disorders treatment facility, due to psychomotor slowing. The patient scored 3 or lower on the Bush-Francis Catatonia Rating Scale (BFCRS), but he showed marked improvement following 2 mg of intravenous lorazepam. The patient was referred for ECT, experienced dramatic improvement, and was discharged at his baseline functioning. His discharge diagnosis was catatonic syndrome secondary to severe melancholic depression. Catatonia may present a diagnostic challenge as no single catatonia screener captures all possible phenotypes. The patient consistently scored low on the BFCRS but he had a clear response to standard-of-care catatonia treatment. Psychomotor slowing is common in catatonia but is not designated as a catatonic feature in either the DSM-5 or the BFCRS. This case also presented diagnostic complexity as the patient initially presented with malnutrition and concern about a possible eating disorder. This report highlights that diagnosing catatonia is challenging, particularly in the context of medical complexity, and that there are discrepancies between diagnostic tools. When suspicion of catatonia is high, despite low individual screening scores, clinicians may consider alternative screening instruments or empiric treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":16909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychiatric Practice","volume":"30 6","pages":"447-448"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142801427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Constructed using universal human capacities related to self- and interpersonal functioning, the LPFS defines a continuum of 5 levels ranging from optimal functioning to extreme impairments in functioning. While there have been a growing number of empirical studies demonstrating its reliability and validity, the LPFS was designed fundamentally as an informative clinical tool, potentially useful to practitioners working in a variety of roles using diverse interventions. This article addresses the issue of treatment utility from 2 particular perspectives. First, we illustrate how the capacities targeted by the LPFS offer a framework for treatment, applicable to a variety of theoretical or methodological orientations. We illustrate that the different facets of the LPFS may provide general aims for treatment by identifying the pathways through which change is realized in (whatever) psychotherapy. Second, we suggest how the levels of functioning may inform pathways toward change by providing information useful for treatment assignment and planning, such as the therapist's stance, the types of intervention, and specific goals in treatment. Through discussing these issues while using brief clinical vignettes, we hope that this article may stimulate clinicians to use the LPFS and discover its value in clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":16909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychiatric Practice","volume":"30 6","pages":"411-420"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142801444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
