National Data Release: Antipsychotic Use in Long-Term Care

Canada’s rate for potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use remains unchanged and well above Canada’s 15% target. Why does this rate persist, and are we at a new normal?

Join the Appropriate Use Coalition on January 22 from 12-1 p.m. ET for the release of national antipsychotic rates from the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Participants will explore the latest trends, hear from care homes about successes, and learn about upcoming details on how to get recognized for improvement efforts.

Speakers:

• Norma Hall, Project Lead, Specialized Care Development, Canadian Institute for Health Information
• Sharon MacDonald, Director of Care, Rexton Lions Nursing Home, New Brunswick
• Heather Gates, Executive Director, Regina Gardens Long Term Care Residence, Ontario
