Course Description
Antimicrobial use is extensive in advanced dementia. However, prior research suggests much of this use may not be appropriate. This interactive, computer based, self-directed course illustrates key concepts in the management of infections in advanced dementia, consensus-based algorithms for antimicrobial initiation, and integration of resident preferences into treatment decisions. The course consists of 4 virtual patient cases: 2 for urinary tract infections and 2 for lower respiratory tract infections. Participants receive response-specific, evidence-based feedback to answers, as well as supplemental information.
