Nursing facilities and physicians are still trying to interpret and address the expectations related to CMS' December 2006 update of the Unnecessary Drug Surveyor Guidelines (F-TAG 329). Numerous medications are available, and the medication regimens of most nursing home residents are lengthy. The challenge for the practitioner is to identify a safe, effective medication regimen that minimizes the risk of having adverse consequences. In addition, both the practitioner and facility are expected to identify and address significant adverse medication consequences. This two-part article reviews several strategies for compliance,based on effective use of the care delivery process and a productive alliance between the practitioner, the consultant pharmacist, and other key facility leadership.
