Medication Safety Strategies for Geriatric Patients in the Emergency Department: A Narrative Review

The authors aim to address the challenges of medication safety for geriatric patients in the emergency department (ED), given their increased vulnerability to medication-related issues. Through a narrative review, they identify key strategies such as medication reconciliation, the use of tools to reduce inappropriate medications, and system-based interventions like Clinical Decision Support Systems to enhance pharmacotherapy management and improve safety outcomes for older adults in the ED.
