Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

402
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

868
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Quality Improvement Science
    • Health Systems Management

    Background:

    • Older adults often face complex health challenges, including medication-related issues impacting mobility, mentation, and personal priorities.
    • The Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) 4Ms framework (Medication, Mobility, Mentation, What Matters) provides a structured approach to improve geriatric care.
    • Effective implementation requires interdisciplinary collaboration and tailored strategies within healthcare settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) 4Ms framework at Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar.
    • To focus on the Medication 'M' as a critical component influencing Mobility, Mentation, and What Matters for older patients.
    • To enhance patient-centered care and caregiver engagement through a quality improvement initiative.

    Main Methods:

    • A quality improvement approach was employed to implement, extend, and sustain the AFHS 4Ms framework.
    • The Medication 'M' served as a use case to demonstrate the impact of high-risk medications.
    • An evidence-based, interdisciplinary approach guided the process, involving multidisciplinary teams.

    Main Results:

    • Successful alignment of multidisciplinary teams was achieved, prioritizing patient-centered care and caregiver engagement.
    • Key deliverables included a process map, a modified medication screening tool, and standardized documentation templates.
    • Educational initiatives were developed to support the framework's implementation and sustainability.

    Conclusions:

    • The AFHS 4Ms framework is crucial for improving healthcare for older adults.
    • Medication management is a central element, requiring interdisciplinary input for safe prescribing and use.
    • Successful implementation fosters better health outcomes and patient experiences in geriatric care.
