Why Less Is More: Strategies For Deprescribing In The ED
With the upcoming implementation of the new CMS age-friendly hospital measure, hospitals will be required to attest that they review medications to identify potentially inappropriate medications (PIMS) for older adults. Dr. Martin Casey, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at UNC School of Medicine. Dr. Caseys’ work has focused on the identifying PIMS and finding opportunities to reduce the use of, and deprescribe, potentially harmful medications in the emergency department.
In this episode, Dr. Christina Shenvi and Dr. Martin Casey will discuss strategies for ED physicians who face unique challenges when assessing older patients’ medications. Using case examples of deprescribing in practice, they illustrate how deprescribing is a nuanced skill and how to approach it.
