Into the Future of Dementia-Related Psychosis Care: Accurate Diagnosis and Safe Treatment (CME/CE Webcast)
Activity Description and Purpose
The prevalence of dementias is increasing rapidly in the United States and consequently so is the burden of associated neuropsychiatric symptoms. Dementia-related psychosis (DRP) can be particularly challenging and is associated with earlier institutionalization, lower quality of life, and accelerated mortality among affected patients. In this CME/CE webcast, renowned experts will discuss current best practices for assessment, diagnosis, and management of DRP as well as pertinent clinical trials for off-label and emerging antipsychotics used to treat DRP. The desired results of this activity are for physicians, physician assistants, nurses, social workers, and psychologists to confidently diagnose DRP and treat symptoms effectively while maintaining safety and quality of life of patients.
Target Audience
