Psychosis Treatment Optimization Program (PTOP)

Mental Health - Adult & Senior

Provided by Fraser Health

Supports patients living with psychosis who have not responded well to previous treatments.
Psychosis treatment optimization program (PTOP) is a community program that works with people whose medication is not working well to treat their psychotic illness. Among the program’s goals are reducing emergency visits and admissions to hospital and improving health outcomes and quality of life.

PTOP consists of mobile psychosis treatment teams centered in Burnaby, Delta, Surrey, Maple Ridge and Mission, which support patients throughout Fraser Health.

The teams provide optimized treatment which may include:
  • Community-Based Clozapine Starts: In collaboration with a care provider, Psychosis treatment optimization program (PTOP) nurses facilitate community-based clozapine starts.
  • Clozapine monitoring: On-going patient monitoring (including Metabolic Monitoring) and reporting
  • Complex patient assessments
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy where thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are explored. With psychosis, individuals may experience strange beliefs or may hear voices even while on medication. CBT targets these symptoms. Individuals will attend 15 to 20 weekly sessions with a trained CBT therapist.
  • Ongoing support for primary care providers: Psychosis treatment optimization program (PTOP) provides ongoing support for family doctors and nurse practitioners in the community related to clozapine and hematological monitoring. Some examples of support provided are clozapine vendor registration updates and referrals to vendor specialists such as hematologist and cardiologist.
