Infographic – Reducing inappropriate use of antipsychotics

As part of the Caring for Cognitive Impairment campaign, the Commission produced an infographic targeted at reducing inappropriate use of antipsychotics.  It summarises why this is such an important issue for people with behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) across multiple healthcare settings. It was developed as a result of work undertaken in response the Commission’s first Australian Atlas of Healthcare Variation that found high and variable use in people aged 65 and over.
