Abstract

The concept of polypharmacy encompasses adverse drug reactions and non-adherence factors in elderly individuals. It also leads to the increased use of healthcare services and negative health outcomes. The problem is further alleviated by the odds of potentially inappropriate medications (PIM), which lead to the development of drug-related problems. Since polypharmacy is more commonly observed in the elderly population, urgency is required to introduce operative protocols for preventing and managing this problem. The family medicine model of care can be associated with favorable illness outcomes regarding satisfaction with consultation, treatment adherence, self-management behaviors, adherence to medical advice, and healthcare utilization. Hence, interventions built on family medicine models can provide significant support in improving the outcomes of the older population and their quality of life. In this regard, the authors have taken up the task of explaining the accessible resources which can be availed to improve the application of health care services in the field of geriatric medicine.

老年人多重用药相关风险和管理计划的最新进展。

多种用药的概念包括老年人的药物不良反应和不依从性因素。它还导致更多地使用保健服务和负面的健康后果。潜在的不适当药物(PIM)的可能性进一步缓解了这个问题，这导致了与药物有关的问题的发展。由于多种用药在老年人群中更为常见，迫切需要引入手术方案来预防和管理这一问题。家庭医学的护理模式与良好的疾病结果有关，包括对咨询的满意度、治疗依从性、自我管理行为、对医疗建议的依从性和医疗保健利用。因此，以家庭医学模式为基础的干预措施可以为改善老年人口的结局及其生活质量提供重要支持。在这方面，作者承担了解释可用于改善老年医学领域保健服务应用的可获得资源的任务。
