What do Geriatric Pharmacists do?
Geriatric pharmacists specialize in the medication needs of older adults, ensuring safe and effective drug therapy by reviewing medication regimens, identifying and preventing problems, adjusting dosages for age-related changes, and educating patients and caregivers on proper use.
They utilize specialized tools, provide counseling, work with healthcare teams to optimize care, and help manage complex conditions by considering how medications interact with diseases, nutrition, and other factors.
Responsibilities
Quality Assurance and Regulatory Compliance: They contribute to quality improvement programs and ensure that facilities comply with regulations related to medication management and administration.
Medication Therapy Management (MTM): Geriatric pharmacists conduct thorough reviews of all medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements, to ensure they are necessary, properly dosed, and safe.
Identifying Inappropriate Medications: They utilize tools like the Beers Criteria to identify potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) that pose a higher risk for older adults.
Preventing Adverse Effects: They assess prescriptions for potential drug interactions, side effects, and how age-related body changes affect drug metabolism and effectiveness.
Dose Adjustment: Geriatric pharmacists recommend adjustments to medication dosages based on a patient’s specific age, organ function, and changing physiological needs.
Patient and Caregiver Education: They provide clear instructions on how to take medications, potential side effects, and strategies for managing care, which is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.
Fall Prevention: They assess medication regimens to identify drugs that may increase the risk of falls, a common concern in older adults.
Collaboration with Healthcare Teams: Geriatric pharmacists often serve as essential members of the healthcare team, providing expert advice on medication-related issues to physicians, nurses, and other clinicians.
Antimicrobial Stewardship: They help reduce the misuse of antibiotics through stewardship programs, which is vital for protecting the health of older adults.
