Limited research exists on medication use in the elderly for managed care professionals. More literature is needed on geriatric pharmacology and pharmacy integration within managed care settings.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Pharmacology
  • Health Services Research
  • Pharmacy Practice

Background:

  • The elderly population experiences unique challenges with medication management.
  • Managed care organizations require specific guidance on optimizing medication use in older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize clinical information on medication use in the elderly.
  • To explore strategies for improving prescribing practices within managed care environments.

Main Methods:

  • Nonquantitative evaluation of the general medical literature.
  • Focus on problems and systems approaches relevant to managed care.

Main Results:

  • A significant gap exists in literature addressing managed care directly regarding elderly medication use.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Few articles discuss how managed care can integrate geriatric pharmacology and pharmacy principles.

    • Conclusions:

    • There is a notable lack of literature for managed care professionals on pharmacology, pharmacoepidemiology, and drug utilization review for the elderly.
