Pilot Testing of the EIT-4-BPSD Intervention.Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia are common in nursing home residents, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services now require that nonpharmacological interventions be used as a first-line treatment.  The purpose of this study was to pilot test an implementation strategy, Evidence Integration Triangle for Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (EIT-4-BPSD), which was developed to help staff integrate behavioral interventions into routine care.  The EIT-4-BPSD was implemented in 2 nursing homes, and 21 residents were recruited.  A research nurse facilitator worked with facility champions and a stakeholder team to implement the 4 steps of EIT-4-BPSD.
