  • Support health-care team members in the monitoring of common side effects of drugs that may be used in the treatment of BPSD
  • Support health-care team members in the utilization of the P.I.E.C.E.S. assessment framework and the application of principles outlined in U-FIRST for the implementation of non-pharmaceutical approaches
