Agreement of Antipsychotic Use between Nursing Home Electronic Records and Minimum Data Set.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Nursing home (NH) Minimum Data Set (MDS) have frequently been used to measure medication use in epidemiologic studies, but there is little evidence on the accuracy of MDS-based medication records. We compared antipsychotic use estimated using 2 data sources-MDS and NH electronic medication administration records (eMAR).
