Reducing the Inappropriate Use of Antipsychotics in Long-Term Care: Strategies for Success
The inappropriate use of antipsychotic medications in older adults can reduce the quality of life and increase the risk of adverse drug interactions. To address this concern, a quality improvement study was implemented across 34 long-term care (LTC) homes in Ontario, Canada. The study aimed to reduce inappropriate antipsychotic use by implementing evidence-based deprescribing practices. The study resulted in a 40.6% reduction in inappropriate antipsychotic use. The results of this study can inform quality improvement approaches for reducing the inappropriate use of antipsychotics in LTC and beyond.
