| F-tag #329 update: One year after implementation |
| F-tag #329, regarding gradual dose reduction, is a requirement that came out about one year ago. However, physicians are resisting gradual dose reduction if they have a patient on a treatment plan that's been working. They don't like the idea that they have to change what's already working just because it's a rule, says Maureen Wern, president of Wern and Associates, a full service long-term care consulting firm in Warren, OH. Another challenge in implementing the rule is ensuring that it's done correctly and in a timely fashion, Wern says. |
