Dear Collogues,
We just opened a behavioral Health institution and we are in the process of getting it accredited by TJC. Standard MM 01.01.05 requires the institution to have a dedicated policy to to address the following issues.
1. The use of multiple psychotropic agents in the same class
2. The use of high-dose pharmacotherapy
3. The prevention, identification and management of side effects, including tardive dyskinesia.
I was wondering if someone here oversee a behavioral health institution can share their policy that meet that standard to guide us when we are drafting our own.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Mohamed
