Care Coordination
Care Coordination
Intensive Case Management
At AMHP, we define Intensive Case Management as:
- extensive coordination of client care.
- working closely with other providers for consistency in treatment.
- assisting the client in managing their disorder
- maintaining an appropriate living environment
- developing a quality life style
- discharge planning with hospitals
Medication
AMHP provides referrals to psychiatrists or an ARNP (psychiatric nurse practitioner) to assess the need for medication. If the client already has a psychiatrist or an ARNP , we contact them and explain our role in the client's treatment, emphasize the importance for care coordination and request ongoing contact with the psychiatrist or an ARNP
We provide medication monitoring including:
- observing clients taking their medications
- monitoring for side effects
- accompanying clients to medication review appointments
- support proper follow through of treatment recommendations.

Outreach to Client in the Community
AMHP educates and helps clients use existing resources available to them in their community. As an example, our clinicians accompany clients on outings to learn social skills in the community. Our clinicians may choose to meet with clients for therapy in the home, via Zoom, or in the community. AMHP clinicians utilize both formal and informal environments to facilitate successful and comfortable interactions.
