Medication Regimen Review

Long Term Solutions team of consultant pharmacists perform comprehensive medication regimen reviews to ensure optimal therapy upon admission, during transition of care or when a change of condition is observed.

The goals of Medication Regimen Review are:

  • Enhancement of therapeutic outcomes of pharmacologic agents.
  • Minimization of adverse effects and negative outcomes.
  • Promotion of cost-effective prescribing habits.


Our process ensures that each medication has an appropriate indication for use and is prescribed at the recommended dosage. We monitor for duplicative therapies and request that medications only be utilized for as long as necessary.

Specific attention to psychoactive medications is taken to ensure:

  • Residents are not chemically restrained.
  • Medications are prescribed at the lowest possible dose to control symptoms.
  • Non-pharmacological interventions are utilized prior to initiation or titration.


Our process promotes compliance with SNF regulations F755 Pharmaceutical Services and F756 / F758 Drug Regimen Review / Free from Unnecessary Psychotropic Medications and PRN use. To ensure compliance with the CMS Drug Regimen Review Quality measure, Long Term Solutions has a dedicated staff of new admission pharmacists. Supplemental drug regimen reviews are performed for changes in condition of residents to rule out medications as a potential cause.

We utilize state of the art software to screen for medication interactions as well as compliance with manufacturer recommendations. Our software functionality includes a customized library of regulatory, quality assurance, and clinical recommendations.
