摘要 与药物有关的发病率和死亡率在老年人中是一个重大的健康问题，他们高度 容易出现与药物有关的问题。安全用药实践需要协调努力 提供者和患者在用药过程中。老年人中与药物有关的问题包括 开高风险药物处方导致老年人滥用处方药物。减少用药 差错和提高用药安全性是国家的主要优先事项。因此，我们的目标是主办 世界上最大的医疗综合体--德克萨斯医疗中心举行的老年用药安全研讨会 (TMC)，每年传播和实施老年人用药安全的循证方法 成人要提高老年护理质量。休斯顿大学药学院合作 与德克萨斯大学麦戈文医学院共同举办休斯顿用药安全研讨会 在过去的三年里，重点关注了高风险药物等各方面的用药安全问题， 开出连锁药方，并用国家公认的专家的演讲来停药。平均 151个不同的卫生专业人员参加了每年的研讨会，以丰富他们在 用药安全。此外，研讨会包括研究讲台和海报，这些海报发表在 同行评议的期刊。我们正在申请五年的资金来主办老年用药安全 继续成功地努力传播与以下方面有关的关键药物安全问题的研讨会 实践、研究和政策。这一年度研讨会将：(I)提供优秀的跨专业教育 从业者和研究人员讨论老年人循证用药安全方法的论坛； (2)加强在病人护理和用药安全研究方面的最佳做法方面的合作；和(3)传播 通过网络研讨会和出版物在全国范围内传播研讨会的知识和成果。这项建议 包括由选定TMC机构的代表参加的每月计划委员会会议，以计划和 在TMC组织为期两天的研讨会，有超过20,000名医疗保健专业人员参加。这个 研讨会包括四次全体会议、讲台和海报会议以及实践/研究研讨会， 在五年内提供基于Web的内容交付和虚拟内容集成，以实现更大的覆盖范围。这个 即将举行的研讨会的重点领域包括新冠肺炎大流行期间标签外的药物使用，药物 负担、更安全的阿片类药物使用、不良药物事件、重大药物相互作用、过渡期间的药物安全性 住院护理中的护理和用药安全。目标受众包括医生、护士、药剂师、 学生、居民、研究员、研究人员和其他人。除了创建教育和媒体工具外，还将创建 在《社会与行政药学研究》杂志上发表论文。总体而言，老年人 药物安全研讨会将为以下人员提供独特的跨专业教育和研究论坛 从业者和研究人员使TMC及其他地区的老年人更安全地用药。

ABSTRACT Medication-related morbidity and mortality are a significant health concern in older adults, who are highly susceptible to medication-related problems. Safe medication use practices require coordinated efforts by providers and patients in the medication use process. Medication-related problems in older adults range from prescribing of high-risk medications to misuse of prescribed medications by older adults. Reducing medication errors and improving medication safety are major national priorities. Therefore, our objective is to host the Geriatric Medication Safety Symposium in the largest medical complex in the world, the Texas Medical Center (TMC), annually to disseminate and implement the evidence-based approaches for medication safety in older adults to improve the quality of geriatric care. The University of Houston College of Pharmacy in collaboration with the University of Texas McGovern Medical School organized the Houston Medication Safety Symposium for the past three years focusing on various aspects of medication safety issues such high-risk medications, prescribing cascades, and deprescribing with presentations from nationally recognized experts. An average of 151 diverse health professions participated in the symposium each year to enrich their practice and research on medication safety. In addition, the symposium included research podiums and posters that were published in a peer-reviewed journal. We are requesting five years of funding to host the Geriatric Medication Safety Symposium to continue our successful efforts to disseminate critical medication safety issues with respect to practice, research, and policy. This annual symposium will: (i) Provide an excellent interprofessional educational forum for practitioners and researchers to discuss evidence-based medication safety approaches in older adults; (ii) Increase collaborations for best practices in patient care and medication safety research; and (iii) Disseminate the knowledge and findings from the symposium nationally through webinars and publications. The proposal includes monthly planning committee meetings from representatives of selected TMC institutions to plan and organize the two-day symposium in the TMC, with a reach of over 20,000 healthcare professionals. The symposium includes four plenary sessions, podium and poster sessions, and practice/research workshops, with web-based content delivery and integration of virtual content over five years to allow for greater reach. The areas of focus for the upcoming symposiums include off-label drug use during the COVID-19 pandemic, drug burden, safer opioid use, adverse drug events, significant drug interactions, drug safety during transitions of care, and medication safety in inpatient care. The target audience includes physicians, nurses, pharmacists, students, residents, fellows, researchers, and others. Educational and media tools will be created in addition to publishing the proceedings in the Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy journal. Overall, the Geriatric Medication Safety Symposium will provide a unique interprofessional educational and research forum for practitioners and researchers to make medication practices safer for older adults in the TMC and beyond.
