title: [How to avoid the inappropriate prescriptions in nursing homes?].
abstract: The inappropriate prescription is frequent in the Belgian nursing homes. Which are the better tools to control and improve our prescription? Is it relevant to start or continue medications for prevention in the context of moderate or severe dementia? STOPP-START seems to be a good screening tool for detecting the inappropriate prescriptions by the general practitioner.
