Within the first year in which a resident is admitted on a psychotropic medication or after the prescribing practitioner has initiated the medication, the facility will attempt a GDR in two separate quarters (with at least one month between attempts), unless contraindicated. GDR will be documented in the clinical record. Rationale for clinical contraindications may be documented in the clinical record.
