Medication use is the predominant form of health intervention in
our society. And as we age, the likelihood of medication use
increases dramatically, with more than 80 percent of those over age
65 using one or more medications. Along with that, the potential
for medication errors also increases. Indeed adverse drug reactions
(ADRs) and adverse drug events (ADEs) are a significant problem in
older adults. Written in a practical format by contributors from
Australia and the United States, Medication Management in Older
Adults: A Concise Guide for Clinicians presents the available
evidence on research interventions designed to reduce the incidence
of medication errors in older adults, with a focus on acute,
subacute, and residential (long-term) care settings. Because
medication errors can occur at all stages in the medication
process, from prescription by physicians to delivery of medication
to the patient by nurses, and in any site in the health system, it
is essential that interventions be targeted at all aspects of
medication delivery. Chapters cover the principles of medical
ethics in relation to medication management; common medication
errors in the acute care sector; medication management in long-term
care settings; nutrition and medications; the outcomes of a
systematic review; dose form alterations; Electronic Health Records
(EHR), Computerized Order Entry (COE), Beers criteria; and
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. For those clinicians
especially concerned with providing the best possible outcomes for
their older adult patients, Medication Management in Older Adults:
A Concise Guide for Clinicians is an invaluable resource and a
significant contribution to the burgeoning literature on medication
errors.
