Description of Use of Antipsychotics in BPSD

This app is designed to help providers understand, assess and manage residents in LTC homes with behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (responsive behaviours), with a focus on antipsychotic medications. The app integrates best-practice evidence with clinical experience, and emphasizes the following important principles:
* Being resident-centred,
* Being mindful of benefits, risks and safety concerns,
* Using an interprofessional team approach and validated tools,
* Prescribing conservatively, and,
* Reassessing regularly for opportunities to deprescribe medications that are no longer needed.
