MyCare Psychiatry provides rapid insights to establish the right dose when it matters most.1 In light of the serious consequences of unsuccessful treatment, the value of having rapid access to information that may be used to reorient the treatment cannot be overstated. Timely knowledge of antipsychotic plasma levels of patients with complicated courses of treatment would allow prescribers to make highly consequential decisions based on data rather than guesswork.2
