Guided by experts in quality improvement for the appropriate use of antipsychotics, this series provides information on data monitoring, safely deprescribing, and sustaining gains.

This foundational workbook is intended to guide your team through the first steps of developing a quality improvement initiative, from creating a team to understanding your problem, aim, measures, and change ideas.

Based on the Appropriate Use of Antipsychotics Approach model from Healthcare Excellence Canada, this toolbox is a filterable collection of practical tools and resources to guide the deprescribing process and help your team implement person-centred care approaches.
