Individual Pharmacotherapy Management (IPM-II) for Patient and Drug Safety in Polypharmacy via Clinical Electronic Health Record Is Associated with Significant Fall Prevention
The results indicate medication risks constitute a major iatrogenic cause of falls in this population and support the use of EHR-based IPM in standard care for the prevention of falls in the elderly and for patient and drug safety. In terms of global efforts, IPM contributes to the running WHO and United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030).
