Abstract

We developed an intervention to improve compliance with guidelines for monitoring metabolic syndrome and compared compliance prior to intervention and three times post-intervention at three community mental health clinics in Texas. One test clinic received intervention and two other clinics served as controls. Fifty random charts were reviewed from each clinic for three specific, 1–2 weeks periods over the course of 18 months. There were significant improvements in the ordering of labs, the presence of lab results in the chart, and documentation of blood pressure, body mass index and waist circumference in the intervention clinic over time in comparison to the control clinics. Documented evidence of physician action with respect to out of range values remained low. Metabolic monitoring is a multi-step process. Removing barriers, creating specific procedures, and dedicating staff resources can improve compliance with monitoring.
