Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Patient-tailored deprescribing assessment and intervention

Patients are identified for enrollment via a risk prediction model and enrolled in a pharmacist-led polypharmacy clinic. The pharmacist will conduct a comprehensive medication review, which will include: medication reconciliation, assessment of patient risk factors (clinical, socioeconomic), identification of potentially inappropriate medications, identification of potential prescribing omissions, shared decision-making with the patient and/or caregiver, and confirmation of the results of the comprehensive medication review with the primary care clinician. Once the primary care clinician has approved the recommendations, the pharmacist will make the appropriate changes to the medication regimen, will provide tailored medication education and counseling (including Motivational Interviewing) and will follow-up with the patient at least once per month via video visit or phone to assess side effects, adverse effects, and provide support.
