Potentially Inappropriate Antipsychotic Use in LTC: Alternative Approaches
12:00pm ET - 1:00pm ET
Reducing potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use in long-term care (LTC) involves changing how care teams assess and manage resident behaviours. Across Canada, LTC homes are seeing meaningful results for residents and their families by adopting alternative behavioural approaches.
Join the Appropriate Use Coalition on November 27 from 12-1 p.m. ET to discuss person-centred approaches to support residents with responsive behaviours. Learn how LTC homes can begin implementing change, engage staff in new approaches, and sustain these practices over time.
