Presentation overview: There has been a rapid rise in the number of older people with multiple medical conditions who take many medications every day. Due to the inherent risks associated with medication use, there has been a corresponding increase in the prevalence of medication-related problems in people living at home or in care facilities. These problems may result in medication-related illness, emergency department visits and hospital admissions.
This presentation will provide an overview of the different types of medication reviews conducted by pharmacists that address these medication-related problems. There will be a focus on the common medication-related problems identified in people with dementia, and how medication reviews may improve these people’s health outcomes and quality of life.
