title: Incorporating medication regimen reviews into the interdisciplinary care planning process.
abstract: Although many long-term care providers regard medication utilization reviews in terms of regulatory mandates, survey deficiencies, practice intrusion, and policy violations, not all consider these activities in such negative terms. This article describes the approach used by a large interdisciplinary team at a private continuing-care retirement community (CCRC) in North Carolina that includes medication regimen review in the larger context of resident care planning.
