Psychopharmacology Algorithms – Clinical Guidance from the Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at the Harvard South Shore Psychiatry Residency Program (2021) David N. Osser

Description

Algorithms are useful in the field of psychopharmacology as they can serve as guidelines for avoiding the biases and cognitive lapses that are common when treating conditions that rely on uncertain data. In spite of this, evidence-based practices in psychopharmacology often require years to become widely adopted. The Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at Harvard’s South Shore Medical Program is an effort to speed up the adoption of evidence-based research into the day-to-day treatment of patients.
