"Medication Management" is defined as "counseling on the role of prescription medications and their effects including side effects; the importance of compliance and adherence; and monitoring the use of and effects of medications." This term is seen throughout the chapter as a required activity in multiple services. It seems that this services could also be provided by other qualified staff such as psychiatrist, RN's or nurse practitioners who are involved with the individuals care.
Is there a minimum standard for how often this activity should be provided? In rural areas where Licensed Type Staff are limited this regulation change could hinder services provided.
