| Drug Regimen Review Drug regimen review is a critical function of the consultant pharmacist, and is required for nursing home residents. The principles of drug regimen review, however, can be applied to seniors (and other patients) in a wide variety of settings. The purpose of this web page is to provide ASCP members with information and links to resources to assist in conducting effective drug regimen reviews. For a comprehensive overview of the drug regimen review, refer to a 3-part series of articles published in ASCP’s journal, The Consultant Pharmacist, in 2003.
A critical part of the drug regimen review process is communicating drug regimen review findings and recommendations to prescribers.
