Abstract:
The National Committee for Quality Assurance(NCQA)and the Pharmacy Quality Alliance(PQA)used the American Geriatrics Society(AGS)Beers Criteria to establish the quality measure system of high-risk medications and potentially harmful drug-disease interactions in the elderly.Medications included may be harmful to elderly adults,and negatively affect health care plans' quality ratings.AGS experts conducted a comprehensive literature review and prepared a list of drug-therapy alternatives with supporting references.NCQA,PQA,the 2015 AGS Beers Criteria panel,and the Executive Committee of the AGS reviewed the drug therapy alternatives and nonpharmacological approaches.Prescribers,pharmacists,patients,and health care plans may benefit from this list.
