Abstract:
A number of barriers to deprescribing exist, with knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy often highlighted by prescribers within an interrupted, siloed nature of the existing health care system. Thus, deprescribing is not likely to occur without a change in the system. Pharmacists are extremely well positioned to positively impact the deprescribing process, and particularly senior care pharmacists given familiarity with population-specific pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characteristics of medications. Similarly, our health care partners have endorsed pharmacists to not only collaborate but to drive the deprescribing trials. Therefore, no other profession is better positioned to advocate for the value of deprescribing as a core component of the pharmaceutical care process.
