Overview
Brief Summary
In this pilot study, the investigators will evaluate care delivery via telemedicine to individuals with drug-induced movement disorders (DIMDs). DIMDs can be disabling, and prevention is important; but these disorders are often under-reported, under-recognized and poorly managed. Interprofessional telemedicine for movement disorders is feasible and may provide similar care as in-person visits; however, the majority of studies to date have shown benefit in Parkinson's disease and further validation in other movement disorders is necessary.
In this randomized controlled trial the aim is to study the acceptability, feasibility, and patient and clinician outcomes when a neurological consultation is provided for patients with DIMDs either in-person or through telemedicine. The investigators will apply the evaluation framework RE-AIM (Reach and Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) to comprehensively assess the factors that may impact study success and program implementation. Mixed methods will be implemented to gather outcome data from mental health clinicians that refer patients and the patient participants.
