Informed family member involvement to improve the quality of dementia care in nursing homes.
Researchers described the extent to which nursing homes engaged families in antipsychotic initiation decisions in the year before surveyor guidance revisions were implemented. Under existing federal regulations but before guidance revisions were implemented in 2013, more than 40 percent of families reported being involved in nonpharmacological behavior management of family members, but fewer than one in four reported being involved throughout the entire antipsychotic prescribing process.
