The ground is shifting for prescription medication in the US and Canada, and in other countries, too. There’s much talk and publicity about weaning people off drugs, or what is referred to as “deprescribing”: a process that entails taking patients off some of their medications or tapering down the dosages.
The underlying reasons for deprescribing include concerns about polypharmacy, especially the impact on older and frail adults; antibiotic resistance caused by inappropriate and excessive use; and the ongoing opioid epidemic connected to years of overprescribing highly addictive medicines for pain.
A growing number of health care organizations are working with IHI on how to safely implement deprescribing. Learn about their experiences and the future of this work on the September 13 episode of WIHI, The How and Why of Deprescribing,
