Potential opportunity to improve patient care and reduce health care costs

Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders rank #1 for 7-day and #2 for 30-day hospital readmission rates of all diagnoses.¹ Patients with schizophrenia have more than twice the hospital length of stay as compared to non-mental health patients (10.4 vs. 4.8 days).² Readily available methods for rapidly measuring antipsychotic serum levels in clinical settings are needed for clinicians to make reliable assessments.³
