Figure 1.

(A, B) Predicted percentage of residents given antipsychotics inappropriately, by year, nursing home (NH) racial composition, and Medicaid reliance between 2000 and 2015 for all NHs. Note: Predicted proportion of residents inappropriately administered antipsychotics was calculated using the adjusted model (Table 2). For panel B (Medicaid reliance), another adjusted model, not shown in Table 2, was used to calcuate the predicted percentage of inappropriate antipsychotic use. Medicaid reliance is based on a binary variable (Medicaid reliant vs non-Medicaid reliant) that indicates if 85% or greater of a NH’s residents have Medicaid as their priamary payer. This measure was developed empircally.⁹ APs, antipsychotics; CMS, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; FDA, Food and Drug Administration.
