Integration and implementation of deprescribing recommendations to reduce medication induced harm

澳大利亚的老年人通常会根据自己的健康状况服用多种药物。随着人们年龄的增长和健康的变化，曾经有用的药物可能会变得有害。这项研究计划将调查我们如何改进治疗指南，并在实践中使用这些指南来增加不必要的和潜在有害的药物的停用。这将减少药物造成的伤害，并可能改善澳大利亚老年人的生活质量。

Older people in Australia commonly take multiple medicines for their health conditions. As people age and their health changes, medicines that were once helpful may become harmful. This research program will investigate how we can enhance treatment guidelines and use these guidelines in practice to increase discontinuation of unnecessary and potentially harmful medicines. This will lead to reduced medicine induced harm and may improve the quality of life of older Australians.
