Antipsychotic Drug Reduction Through the Implementation of a Neurologically Oriented, Interdisciplinary Psycho-Diagnostic and Antipsychotic Stewardship Program
Antipsychotic utilization in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) is a major focus of regulatory compliance and a key theme in resident care. This created opportunities for innovations in clinical care of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). In a shared initiative with one of our SNF operators, the authors implemented a joint clinician/facility program focused on rigorous clinical diagnosis and “best practices” in clinical care, specifically aimed at assessing and reducing antipsychotic use where appropriate.

Factors Leading to a Decrease in Grip Strength Among the Oldest Old: A  Large, Representative, Longitudinal Survey
Grip strength is an indicator for physical performance and highly correlated with general health among older adults. To date, there is limited knowledge regarding the factors contributing to grip strength exclusively among the oldest old based on data from large representative samples and also including institutionalized individuals.
