PRN antipsychotics

Good afternoon,

Does anyone has experience with restricting antipsychotics to be only available as scheduled or one time doses? CMS has been heavily advocating for that and we were cited by them for having PRN orders for Haldol. They are stating antisychotics should be only once or scheduled no PRN at all.

Thanks,
Mohamed
