Clinical Trial Summary

This study will perform a retrospective analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent educational intervention to improve medication use and management of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, relative to a statewide intervention that has been ongoing. Medication use and symptom severity outcomes will be compared among intervention counties and demographically similar non-intervention counties.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will perform a retrospective analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent educational intervention to improve medication use and management of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, relative to a statewide intervention that has been ongoing. Medication use and symptom severity outcomes will be compared among 29 intervention counties and 10 demographically similar non-intervention counties. The long-term effectiveness of the statewide intervention will also be evaluated. Medicare and Minimum Data set data from 2011 to 2014 will be used to evaluate prescribing and other outcomes in 1) outpatients with dementia, and 2) nursing home residents, based on exposure to interventions among healthcare and nursing home providers. Measurable goals included increasing the appropriateness of antipsychotic prescribing and reducing anticholinergic use. Effect modification will be evaluated by level of participation in the intervention and other prescriber and nursing home facility characteristics. ;
