Description
Geropharmacy is both an art and a science. The confusion can lie between knowing when and how to separate the two.
As you evaluate medication usage in the elderly, especially in terms of fall risk or cognitive impairment, a well-planned decision-making process makes a dramatic impact on outcomes.
Learn how the current body of science can demonstrate statistically significant benefits. That vital information is then coupled with the art of knowing your geriatric patients goals to prescribe/deprescribe on an individualized basis.
