Lessons learned from online delivery of curricula and best practices for programs to create the optimal online learning environment for students are reviewed. Although benefits of online learning have been found, such as flexibility, convenience, and efficient use of time, with similar short-term student performance, the potential long-term implications on pharmacy students are not fully known, particularly concerning board pass rates, job attainment, and knowledge/skills application in the workplace. This commentary reviews and recommends the types of teaching modalities that align best with an online format for knowledge acquisition and student satisfaction. The most challenging part of didactic curricula to teach remotely is skills development. Proficiency in skills (e.g., compounding preparations or physical assessment) is best evaluated in person to promote student self-confidence in pharmacy practice and patient care. This commentary reviews the needed components for designing quality online courses, all in the context of remembering the significance of instructor engagement. The commentary also discusses the importance of bidirectional feedback for the instructor and student and the deliberate use of formative assessments of learning to gauge student performance. A review of online summative and high-stakes assessments is included with a focus on ensuring academic integrity while also minimizing any impact on student performance and anxiety. As pharmacy education has learned from the experiences with the COVID-19 transition to online learning, consideration should be given to best practices regarding when and how to use online modalities to teach students and foster student learning. Regardless of the format, courses should engage the student and instructor and be evaluated routinely to promote achievement of learning outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":73966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy : JACCP","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141583853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deprescribing interventions are often employed in the outpatient setting, potentially missing patients with limited healthcare access. Hospitalization represents a unique touch point to address polypharmacy in older adults with a multidisciplinary team.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This retrospective cohort study examined the feasibility and effectiveness of a polypharmacy intervention in hospitalized older adults. The intervention was developed by a multidisciplinary team with a quality improvement framework and implemented by clinical pharmacists on an academic teaching service. Adults aged 65 years and older were included. Pharmacists completed a comprehensive medication review with the identification of medication therapy problems (MTPs), with additional evaluation for polypharmacy (five or more chronic medications) and potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) using validated tools (Beers and STOPP/START criteria), with recommendations implemented during hospitalization. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the intervention and its outcomes. Reporting followed the SQUIRE statement.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The polypharmacy intervention was provided to 155 patients. Polypharmacy occurred in 98.7% of older adults, whereas 82.6% received at least one PIM (261 total). This demonstrates a significant need for an intervention to address polypharmacy and PIMs during hospitalization. A median of two MTPs was identified per patient (total 287), the most common being adverse drug reaction (present in 52.3% of patients), medication without indication (47.7%), and indication without medication (31%). Opioids were the most common PIM (present in 36.1% of patients), followed by benzodiazepines (10.3%) and skeletal muscle relaxants (8.4%).
