Introduction: Patients on antipsychotic medications are at higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome; nevertheless, metabolic screening for patients on antipsychotics is suboptimal.
Methods: This project developed and implemented AMP (Antipsychotic Metabolic screening Protocol), a nurse-driven protocol on inpatient psychiatric units that allowed nursing staff to collect all components of a metabolic screening. Nurses working on units with AMP were surveyed pre- and post-implementation on perception of AMP and empowerment.
