Hi,
How often are facilities doing Aims Tests on residents? Surveyors visited Facility and stated that this test should be done when there is a change in dosage of the medication, or if there is a change in medication. There was also a resident who was displaying tardive dyskinesia and the surveyor stated that the Aims should have been done then, also. The facility did not do the Aims test, but they did have the medication changed for this resident. According to the facility’s policy, the Aims test is done every 6 months. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Angie
