Prescribing of atypical antipsychotics as a proportion of all antipsychotics prescribed.
Rationale
Prescribing of antipsychotics is identified in MHNSF standards 4 and 5 on effective services for people with severe mental illness as an indicator of performance. NICE Guidelines recommend prescribing of the new atypical antipsychotics as more effective and with fewer side effects. The proportion of atypical antipsychotics as a proportion of all antipsychotics should be rising.
