Drug Regimen Review
The drug regimen review (DRR) is the required clinical screen of a home health patient's complete medication regimen for potentially clinically significant issues, such as interactions, duplications, omissions, adverse reactions, and noncompliance. It is part of the comprehensive assessment under the Conditions of Participation and is documented through OASIS items M2001, M2003, and M2005, which also feed a federal process measure.
