Webinar | Dementia Care: Identifying and Managing Target Behaviors

The Reform of Requirements for Long-Term Care states that long-term care facilities must assure that a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia receives the appropriate treatment and services to attain or maintain his or her highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The use of psychotropic medications in residents with dementia does not always contribute to the highest potential of the residents. In this webinar, Dr. Sonntag will identify when it is appropriate to use these medications.  In addition he will review the importance of specifying and monitoring the target behavior for which a medication or non-pharmacologic intervention is being used, as well as ideas on how to engage your medical director, physicians, and/or nurse practitioners in your efforts to reduce the inappropriate use of these medications.
