Recorded Medication Management for Older Adults: Drug Interactions

This presentation will cover the essentials of drug interactions (recognize, evaluate, mitigate) with specific focus on drug-drug and drug disease interactions in older adults (i.e. 65 years of age or older). Older adults are more likely than younger adults to take numerous concomitant medications and have multiple comorbidities, increasing their risk of drug interactions and subsequent adverse drug events. Unique evidence-based resources and mitigation strategies can be employed within the older adult population, and education regarding these resources and strategies will be provided. Education will be delivered via a slide set, with embedded multiple-choice questions posed to the audience to assess learning in this knowledge-based session.

Target Audience

Learning Objectives

1. Describe factors that contribute to clinically relevant drug interactions in older adults
2. Identify potentially important drug interactions in older adults according to the 2023 American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria®
3. Review drug interaction resources and mitigation strategies
