Many long-term care homes have rates of potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use well above Canada’s new 15% target. These rates are measured using CIHI’s quality indicator, but understanding what counts as “potentially inappropriate,” as well as the inclusion and exclusion criteria, can be challenging.

Join the Appropriate Use Coalition on September 18 from 10-11 a.m. (SK time) for a deep dive into your questions about inappropriate antipsychotic use. Experts will define the indicator, why it matters, and offer practical guidance on how homes can safely work toward the new target.

Speakers:

• Julie Weir, Long-Term Care Clinician Co-Lead, Choosing Wisely Canada
• Norma Hall, Project Lead, Specialized Care Development, Canadian Institute for Health Information
