Advances in the Management of Dementia-Related Psychosis in Long-Term Care (CME/CE Webcast)

The prevalence of dementias is rising rapidly in the United States. The incidence of associated neuropsychiatric issues, including psychosis, will increase in tandem. Dementia-related psychosis places a considerable burden on affected individuals and their caregivers alike. In this educational activity, new and emerging, evidence-based strategies for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of dementia-related psychosis are presented, and educational tools clinicians can use in their facilities are also provided. The desired results of this activity are for clinicians working in long-term care facilities to recognize psychosis in affected persons with dementia and create person-centered, safe, and effective management plans.
