Variation in Psychotropic and Non‐Psychotropic Prescribing in Nursing Homes: A Multi‐Level <scp>EMR</scp> ‐Based Retrospective Cohort Study

Prescribing variation extends beyond antipsychotics to other common pharmacotherapies. Unit-level variation reveals additional unexplained variation not captured in previous home-level studies, providing new targets for research and quality improvement interventions. Future research should explore potential unit- and home-level contributors, such as staffing, practice culture, clinician decision-making, and policies.
