Presentation

This presentation (1:01:03 minutes) by Michael Steinman, MD, takes a deeper look into deprescribing in older adults. Topics discussed include: (1) what is deprescribing (and don't I already do this)?; (2) why don't we do better?; (3) evidence on clinical outcomes of deprescribing; (4) resources to utilize; (5) US Deprescribing Research Network; and (6) ideas and approaches, not just facts (geriatrics!).
