LTC Risk Mitigation Series—Unnecessary medications

LTC Risk Mitigation Series—Unnecessary medications
Focused on proactive risk mitigation in LTC, this series will help you learn practical strategies to identify and reduce risks, covering key areas like resident safety, regulatory compliance, and financial risks. Each session in the series will provide tools and insights to help LTC professionals manage challenges effectively and improve care quality.

Unnecessary medications can pose significant risks to older adults in long-term care. This webinar will help healthcare professionals recognize and reduce the use of inappropriate medications by understanding and applying the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) Beers List. Our expert speaker, Dr. Robert Sonntag, will guide you through common medication concerns, criteria for identifying high-risk drugs, and best practices for deprescribing to ensure resident safety and improve care outcomes.
