Exploring quality improvement processes for psychotropic medication use in Australian residential aged care homes: a qualitative study
Recent changes in policies, procedures and infrastructure have provided clearer oversight of psychotropic medication use. Individual and system approaches to psychotropic medication use in aged care have shifted. Key opportunities for improving use of psychotropic medications within aged care organisations include improving the capacity to use local data to improve care and building interdisciplinary teams to facilitate collaborative care.
