Corresponding with CMS' new focus on inappropriate use of medications for nursing home residents, we encourage your Medical Directors and DNS' to review the proposal linked here.
By way of introduction, the updated Criteria address three primary areas:
1. Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use
in Older Persons
2. Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use
in Older Persons Due To Drug - Disease or Syndrome Interaction
3. Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use
in Older Persons - Drugs to Be Used With Caution
