      abstract = {The purpose of this quality improvement project was to  re-align the standard of psychiatric care with best  practices for nine clients with co-occurring mental illness  and intellectual disability (ID) in an Oregon community  mental health center. For three months, a  Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who  specialized in Developmental Disability Psychiatry sought  to decrease same-class polypharmacy, and benzodiazepine  use. A standardized tool, the Aberrant Behavior Checklist  (ABC), was used to assess impact of medication changes on  behavior problems. Caregivers answered a question comparing  the attentiveness of the specialized PMHNP compared to the  attentiveness of previous psychiatric providers. Data were  analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed-rank  tests, and 1-sample t-tests.  },
