Adherence to Guideline Recommendations on Psychotropic Drug Use for Challenging Behavior in Dementia
Adherence to guideline recommendations on drug type was present in just over half of the cases. Frequently, evaluations were not reported or were performed after the recommended time frame. Further research is needed to determine the reasons for non-recommended psychotropic drug use, low evaluation reporting rates, and factors that influence adherence. The use of a sentinel network may increase awareness and adherence.
