This is one means to foster the greater use of clozapine in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Academic Detailing Service meets with mental health providers at each facility to identify barriers and healthcare systems solutions, provide feedback about prescribing and patterns of care, and develop and distribute educational materials to improve veteran health outcomes.
