Excerpt

Recognizing that Spain has the highest rate of antipsychotic prescribing in Western Europe,1 the Spanish Geriatrics and Gerontology Society has encouraged reducing psychotropic medication use in long-term settings.2 In a quality improvement effort designed to do that, we found that administration of any of 3 interventions—application of STOPP/START criteria, medication-focused team rounds (TR), or a decision aid (DA)—effectively reduced psychotropic use among older Spanish nursing home residents with dementia, though STOPP/START criteria application was most effective.3
