Texas Child Psychiatry Access Network - CPAN

Free and trusted mental health resource team for pediatric and perinatal health clinicians in Texas.

Texas Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN) offers no-cost, clinician-to-clinician consultations related to specific patients or general questions as well as care coordination and training to pediatric health clinicians to assist with identifying and treating mental and behavioral health concerns in child and youth patients across the state. Texas Perinatal Psychiatry Access Network (PeriPAN) now extends these services to clinicians serving pregnant and postpartum women with mental health needs. Both programs can be accessed by calling the same hotline number: 888-901-2726

CPAN and PeriPAN are initiatives of the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC), which was created by the 86th Texas Legislature to leverage the expertise and capacity of Texas health-related institutions of higher education to address urgent mental health challenges and improve the mental health care system in the state.

Our partners at ACOG District XI came to us with a great idea to make it easier for clinicians to integrate mental health screening during essential perinatal visits. Introducing the Cut-Score Pocket Card, a quick-reference guide on recommended tools for determining type and severity of various conditions.

Now clinicians can keep this frequently used section of our PeriPAN Perinatal Mental Health Toolkit at their fingertips. Call 888-901-2726 to request a laminated pocket card from your HRI, and explore the full toolkit here: https://tcmhcc.utsystem.edu/peripan-toolkit/

The Texas Youth Depression and Su***de Research Network (TX-YDSRN) recently published an article on identifying and managing treatment-resistant depression through measurement-based care (MBC): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0193953X2300014X

Key takeaways:
1️⃣ Implementing MBC can address treatment issues such as inadequate dosing and duration, nonadherence, and medication side effects.
2️⃣ Barriers to implementing MBC in clinical care include time, resources, training, and challenges with workflow integration.
3️⃣ Self-report measures may be more easily implemented in busy clinical practices, making them an effective, evidence-based option.
