Challenges and opportunities in creating a deprescribing program in the emergency department: A qualitative study
Open accessAbstract
Background: As the population of older adults increases, appropriate deprescribing becomes increasingly important for emergency geriatric care. Older adults represent the sickest patients with chronic medical conditions, and they are often exposed to high‐risk medications. We need to provide an evidence‐based, standardized deprescribing program in the acute care setting, yet the evidence base is lacking and standardized medication programs are needed. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study with the goal to understand the perspective of healthcare workers, patients, and caregivers on deprescribing high‐risk medications in the context of emergency care practices, provider preferences, and practice variability, along with the facilitators and barriers to an effective deprescribing program in the emergency department (ED). To ensure rich, contextual data, the study utilized two qualitative methods: (1) a focus group with physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, and geriatricians involved in care of older adults and their prescriptions in the acute care setting; (2) semi‐structured interviews with patients and caregivers involved in treatment and emergency care. Transcriptions were coded using thematic content analysis, and the principal investigator (S.L.) and trained research staff categorized each code into themes. Results: Data collection from a focus group with healthcare workers ( n = 8) and semi‐structured interviews with patients and caregivers ( n = 20) provided evidence of a potentially promising ED medication program, aligned with the vision of comprehensive care of older adults, that can be used to evaluate practices and develop interventions. We identified four themes: (1) Challenges in medication history taking , (2) missed opportunities in identifying high‐risk medications , (3) facilitators and barriers to deprescribing recommendations , and (4) how to coordinate deprescribing recommendations. Conclusions: Our focus group and semi‐structured interviews resulted in a framework for an ED medication program to screen, identify, and deprescribe high‐risk medications for older adults and coordinate their care with primary care providers.

Explicit criterion-based deprescribing assessments such as STOPP and Beers are often impractical to implement in time-constrained clinical settings such as the emergency department due to the need to evaluate multiple clinical indications and specialist-prescribed medications.
“These explicit assessments are criterion-based with clear standards but are often impractical to implement in time-constrained clinical settings, such as ED, due to the need to evaluate multiple clinical indications and specialist-prescribed medications [10].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
