Abstract:
Skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes are care settings that offer increasing opportunities for pharmacists to take the lead when addressing the new updated Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements coupled with enhanced quality measures reporting. In addition, the complexity of the medication-related needs and comorbidities of the patients served in long-term care facilities promotes pharmacists practicing to the top of their license. Medication stewardship needs to be an interdisciplinary team activity led by the pharmacist. This article highlights areas of opportunity and innovation focusing on the four areas that reflect new regulations and enhanced scrutiny by CMS: psychotropic medications, transitions in care, antibiotic stewardship, and pain management.
