Antipsychotic Metabolic Monitoring Agent

Patients on many antipsychotics need regular checks of weight, waist, blood pressure, glucose and lipids, and these are often missed between visits. This agent lists every patient on these drugs, checks when each measure was last done, and compares that with the monitoring schedule. For overdue patients, it drafts lab orders for the psychiatrist to sign and a reminder to the patient. When results come back, it trends them and flags changes such as weight up more than 7% from baseline or a rising A1c, and lists options the psychiatrist might weigh. The next month it checks that overdue items were completed. If not, it reminds again or requests outside results. The psychiatrist signs every order and makes every treatment change. Edge case: labs done by the primary care doctor are requested rather than repeated.
