Inappropriate antipsychotic use: the impact of nursing home socioeconomic and racial composition.
Researchers examined how nursing home characteristics, particularly the racial and socioeconomic composition of residents, are associated with the inappropriate use of antipsychotics, using national data from Long-Term Care: Facts on Care. They found an overall decline in the use of antipsychotics. Although findings indicated facilities with higher proportions of blacks had lower inappropriate antipsychotic use, facility-level socioeconomic disparities continued to persist among nursing homes. They recommended that policy interventions focusing on reimbursement be considered to promote reductions in antipsychotic use, specifically among Medicaid-reliant nursing homes.
