Abstract

The consumption of psychotropic drugs in elderly people remains a concern in France, including in nursing homes. A comparative analysis of prescriptions for psychotropic medication in nursing homes in 2013 and 2015 based on the computer system of the French national health insurance scheme shows a significant reduction in the prescribing of these medications. Example of a nursing home in Dijon.
