How does SeniorCRE track psychotropic use and gradual dose reduction attempts?
CMS tracks psychotropic medication use as a quality measure. Most communities cannot tell you their antipsychotic rate without manually counting MARs.
Detail
Every resident on a psychotropic is flagged. Gradual dose reduction (GDR) attempts are scheduled automatically and outcomes tracked. Behavioral health screening uses validated tools. Non-pharmacological interventions are documented and measured for effectiveness — when something works, the evidence is captured.
Antipsychotic rates decrease. CMS quality measures improve. Residents benefit from evidence-based behavioral management instead of chemical restraint.
