Effects of interdisciplinary team review on the use of antipsychotic agents with severely and profoundly mentally retarded persons.

Prescriptions of antipsychotic agents for 28 mentally retarded residents of a public institution were recorded over a 6-month interval with traditional medical reviews followed by a 6-month interval with interdisciplinary reviews in which specific recipient behaviors were considered. Substantial and sustained decreases in prescribed antipsychotic agents were observed during the latter interval. Analysis of injury reports for all residents in the environment (N = 63) indicated that these decreases did not significantly increase major injuries on the unit. Results supported an interdisciplinary approach with behavioral monitoring when making decisions related to managing behavior with antipsychotic agents.

The expanding classroom trends and issues in postgraduate medicine. Why self-assessment?

Self-assessment can provide more than a direction for independent study and credit toward recertification. It can also provide an effective learning experience if the instruments are designed to serve an instructional purpose as well as the more traditional measurement function. Based on existing research, the characteristics of self-assessment instruments--questioning, controlling attention, elucidating objectives, evoking performance, and assessing outcomes--can enhance the learning and retention of new material.
