| Notes for Abstraction: | An antipsychotic medication is defined as any of a group of drugs, such as the phenothiazines, butyrophenones or serotonin-dopamine antagonists, which are used to treat psychosis. An antipsychotic medication is also called neuroleptic (refer to Appendix B, Table 10.0- Antipsychotic Medications).
If the patient was in an acute-care hospital and had multiple admissions to the psychiatric unit during his or her hospitalization, this information should be abstracted only once at the time of discharge from the hospital.
If the patient is on two forms of the same medication i.e., po and IM, this would be counted as one antipsychotic medication.
Only use “Antipsychotic NOS” in the following situation:
- For new antipsychotics that are not yet listed in Table 10.0 in Appendix B.
