Antipsychotic Action Plan

Antipsychotic Action Plan

The Antipsychotic Action Plan template is to be used by clinical staff in the nursing home setting to assess and review medication management. It is intended to be a template capable of being modified as needed.

The SMART goals in the plan address education, non-medication interventions, documentation and gradual dose reduction strategies and outcomes. The resource section includes links to augment education and implementation of interventions.

Get to Know Me

One of the most important steps in providing quality dementia care is familiarity with the person. These resources can be used to provide insight into the residents’ preferences, life history, and qualities that make them unique. Knowing this information can foster a more relaxed relationship between the resident and care providers. The facility can post this resource where it is accessible to all staff working with the resident.

Psychotropic Medication Tracking Form and Guide

The “Psychotropic Medication Tracking Form” was developed to assist facilities with a way to track the prescribing of psychotropic medications and any gradual dose reduction efforts. It maintains an active list of all psychotropic medication used in “real time” to include antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, stimulants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers and hypnotics. (See instructions below on how to download the tracking form resources.)

Complete this form to receive a link to download a zipped folder of the Psychotropic Medication Tracking Resources to include the Excel tracking form as well as a PDF instructional guide that explains the use of the tool: https://forms.office.com/r/v6t1MuPYnr
