The Appropriate Use of Antipsychotic (AUA) Toolkit and accompanying resources, provides individuals, families, clinicians and care teams with guidance regarding the assessment and management of responsive behaviours associated with cognitive impairment (dementia, delirium) and appropriate use of medications in older adults.

These information and resources are for all individuals involved in the care and support of older Albertans. Care environments providing care to older adults include Long Term Care, Supportive Living, Home Care and Acute Care.

The AUA work is led by the Clinical Innovation and Practice Support Team (formerly Seniors Health SCN) with the Provincial Seniors Health and Continuing Care (PSHCC) team.
