Summary
As part of this Knowledge User’s commitment to better understanding opioid deprescribing in long-term care homes, this research project will fill a critical gap of research in the area of polypharmacy, which is the prescribing of more medications than needed, and help to develop guidance for long-term health care providers for dose reduction or elimination. The Knowledge User will further use the evidence collected to assess the current status of opioid deprescribing and appropriately implement best practices for pain management for older persons in long-term care homes.
