Nurse Consultants
The Nurses of the CSP ensure that the systematic data collection process provide pertinent information regarding the psychotropic consultation request and forwards this information to the CSP consultant. The RN triages consultation information, is a liaison to the CSP consultants, and reports recommendations to the DCFS Authorized Agent. They provide education and instruction when needed to DCFS authorized agents regarding the psychotropic consultation process. The RN will assist prescribers in understanding the process of obtaining psychotropic medication consent and facilitates communication between the field and UIC consultants.
