Magellan webinar with Open Minds is March 11

Children and psychotropic medications

Magellan Health Services is collaborating with OPEN MINDS (OM),a national health and human service industry market intelligence and management consultation firm,to offer a new executive web briefing to discuss best-practice approaches for the prescription of psychotropic medications to children, along with a review of an industry-leading drug reference chart. Our recently published Magellan clinical monograph concluded the use of such prescriptions can be appropriate; however, parents, caregivers and practitioners must understand the risks and monitor use.

The web briefing, Appropriate Use of Psychotropic Drugs in Children & Adolescents, will be presented by Magellan's Gary Henschen, M.D., chief medical officer-behavioral health and Pat Hunt, director of child and family resiliency services on Tuesday, March 11, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. (Arizona time).
