PharmVisit: Reducing medication-related problems through an interprofessional ward round process in acute geriatric care – a quality improvement project

This project emphasised how including clinical pharmacists in interprofessional ward round teams enabled the integration and consideration of more viewpoints on different aspects of drug therapies, facilitating a more critical debate on medication therapy decisions. Because older adult patients are at an elevated risk of medication-related problems, especially the high acceptance rate of deprescribing, recommendations suggest that PharmVisit is a meaningful means of reducing potentially inappropriate medications.
