7 Avoiding Harm andtheRole
oftheHealthcare
Professional
7.1 Prescribing Culture
Organizational culture is complex, affects all
the building blocks within the healthcare system, and can help or hinder the implementation
of safe patient management and new innovation. It includes the values, assumptions, and
beliefs held by those within the organization;
more simply put, the way in which things are
accepted to be done in practice [65, 66]. Results
from the European Union (EU)-funded
Stimulating Innovation Management of
Polypharmacy and Adherence in the Elderly
(SIMPATHY) Delphi study supported this
understanding of organizational culture [67]. In
fact, the failure to account for organizational
culture is one of the main reasons cited when
evaluating why planned change initiatives are
unsuccessful. For example, an open patient
safety culture is essential for discussions among
health professionals reviewing and challenging
prescribing appropriateness. Case study 3 illustrates challenges that are present for junior prescribers, which can include pharmacists and
nurses as well as doctors, and particularly the
pressure to prescribe medicines either out with
their competence or what would be appropriate
for the older person.
7.2 Factors toConsider toAddress
theCulture andAvoid
Medication-Related Harm
When considering prescribing within a team,
there are several integral and interrelated elements that should be considered by all involved
to ensure safe and effective patient care, as set out
in Fig.20.4.
Using appropriate tools with reference to policies allows safety issues to be addressed in an
understanding and accountable culture, empowering players to become role models for change
among the team they work; this leads to improve-
ment of services while setting the standard for
future care.
Tools for avoiding harm include guidance
documents for reviewing treatment in older people taking multiple medications and addressing
medication safety [30, 68] and also professional
guidance on safe management of patients [69].
To ensure general robustness to avoid harm, there
are common areas to be vigilant about when prescribing. These are presented in Fig.20.5, particularly considering management of pain for the
older person particularly in the acute setting. It is
worth noting that these areas are common areas
of uncertainty in clinical practice and require
attention to detail to ensure decisions are made in
a patient’s best interest [70].
8 Education, Training,
andTools toGuide
Prescribing
Medication-related harm is a major cause of hospital admissions and costs worldwide [50]. It is
therefore essential that healthcare providers at
different levels and specialities are empowered
from the start of their training to become best
practice prescribers. As detailed earlier, healthcare systems across the board are under immense
pressures to cope with the ever-increasing clinical demand; more appropriate and safer prescribing would reduce adverse effects and therefore
the burden on already stretched services.
Figure 20.6 illustrates how vigilant prescribing
can enhance patient safety and experience.
One aspect of minimizing medication-related
harm in the older person can be through focused
teaching and training of prescribers to prescribe
and review appropriately with necessary input.
This helps to create a culture that values the multifaceted aspects required for vigilant prescribing
(Fig. 20.6). Although the focus of prescribing
education tends to be on medical practitioners,
other healthcare practitioners such as nurse practitioners and pharmacists also play a fundamental
role and need to be exposed to equivalent training
[71]. A “competent prescriber” is dened as a
prescriber who embodies the four stages of the

In the UK, there is a competency framework
for all prescribers on prescribing that is led by the
Continued integration of pharmaceutical care
training in various job roles, with tools and
updates to implement current clinical guidance,
enables consistent application of vigilant
prescribing.
No clinician works or should ever try to work
in isolation. There has rightly been a shift from

been established? What prescribed medications may
be contributing towards current patient presentation?
Have you considered the reversible causes (infection,
pain, constipation, dehydration, emotional
distress, inappropriate polypharmacy)?
COMMUNICATION: Is the patient adherent with
prescribed medications? Will simple discussion
encourage adherence? Are carers / family aware
of medication plans? Is the healthcare team
aware of changes to medicines to ensure correct
dispensing? Does the patient's wider healthcare
team know about current medications?

doctor-led hierarchy to one which recognizes and
appreciates the skills and attributes of other
highly skilled healthcare professionals. This shift
has led to increased pharmacy team presence in
primary and secondary care, as well as increased
roles of allied healthcare professionals such as
specialist diabetic nurses and specialist frailty
nursing teams. This approach allows supplemental training and expertise to be brought to areas
where prescribing is often overlooked or poorly
understood. Discussing these in a multidisciplinary setting allows a 360°, holistic management of patient care and prescribing [69].
However, multiple prescribers bring additional
risks around communication, responsibility, and
care co-ordination, which need to be addressed
proactively. Section 6 described multidisciplinary
approaches that have been effective in addressing
inappropriate prescribing for the older person.
8.2 Person-Centered DecisionMaking Tools
Provision and integration of person-centered
decision-making tools into prescribing and clinical planning system that can be used by the
healthcare team are essential. There already
exists a variety of different tools such as the
Scottish polypharmacy guidance [30], local
healthcare trust guidance, national guidance [75]
for medication prescribing, as well as internationally accredited clinical decision-making tools
which incorporate patient comorbidities (such as
the British Medical Journal Best Practice) [76].
Integrating these into the ever-evolving clinical
documentation and prescribing systems with
appropriate warnings for high-risk medications
in computerized clinical decision support tools
can reduce risks of unsafe prescriptions as well as
guide to safest and most holistic management
[69].
9 Summary andConclusions
The key points for consideration when prescribing for older people are set out in Table20.2.
Table 20.2 Key points for clinical practice to ensure
medicationsafety and monitoring in the older person
• Aging increases multimorbidity and affectsmany
aspects ofclinical pharmacology. Consequently, older
people have a high prevalence of medication use and
of medication-related harm
• Some medications are known to affect both cognitive
and physical capacity in the older person and are
considered modiable risk factors that can be
addressed by undertaking a person-centered
medication review, e.g., seven-step medication review
• When considering prescribing for the older person,
consider pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as
these can be altered with aging
• In addition, when considering initiation of
medication, considerthe benet to the older person
using NumberNeeded toTreatand harm using
NumberNeeded toHarm, and considering if they are
applicable ensures treatmentwhich will benet the
individual while minimizing harm.
• The level of frailty using available scales should be
used to help informed decision-making on
appropriates of prescribing
• Adverse effects of medications frequently present as
nonspecic geriatric syndromes, such as falls,
delirium, incontinence, or frailty
• In order to support the review of medication and
prevent any medication-related harm, healthcare
professionals should work with each other to address
medication safety culture in the work place
• In clinical practice, pharmacovigilance is critical to
prevent, detect, and manage medication-related harm
• Reporting of unexpected or severe adverse drug
events seen clinically in older patients is important
since postmarketing surveillance is a major source of
information on medication effects in this population
• Tools to inform pharmacovigilance include
prescribing tools to guide clinical medication reviews
and quality indicators at a health service level. Safety
indicators can be used to drive improvement
• Medication safety in older people requires constant
review, good communication, and shared decisionmaking between all members of the clinical team in
collaboration with the patient
This chapter has set out the contributing factors that predispose the older person to a higher
risk of medication-related harm. These are multifactorial and include increasing multimorbidity
with age and changes in physiology that affect
pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.
Therefore, the importance of monitoring for
effectiveness in clinical practice is discussed,
highlighting some medicines commonly causing
harm in the older person, including those that can

476
A. R. Mair et al.
contribute to falls, cognitive impairment, and/or
frailty.
The importance of reviewing the dose of medicines and the effectiveness of medications for
the older person needs to be considered. Personcentered approaches that allow for shared
decision- making on prescribing and deprescribing with older patients are important.
Multidisciplinary strategies for medication management are outlined, together with the education
and training that is needed for healthcare
professionals who prescribe and review treatment
of the older person, including medication safety
culture. The three case studies in the chapter provide practical and clinical application of key
themes raised in this chapter.
A better evidence base is needed to guide
safe and effective use of medicines in the older
person, particularly for the older person with
multimorbidity and frailty. Pharmacovigilance
research is key to understanding real-world outcomes in this population. A key advance on the
horizon is representative inclusion of patients
in clinical drug development trials, so that efcacy and safety of drugs is rigorously evaluated
in the frail older people who will use them so
that the numbers needed to treat (NNT) can
help assess whether the benets outweigh the
risks. This evidence will inform robust clinical
prescribing decisions with older people and
improve quality use of medicines. Further
research is also needed to understand the role of
an individual’s goals and values of care in the
context of being prescribed multiple
medications.
10 Case Studies
10.1 Case Study 1: Multimorbidity,
Pain Management and Falls
A 78-year-old lady with multiple morbidities and
medication-related harm
Mrs. M, a 78-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, presents with
pain to her general practitioner(GP). Her blood
pressure is well controlled and is 142/78mmHg
and cholesterol is 4.8mmol/L.Recent urea and
electrolytes are within normal range, as are liver
function tests. Latest glycated hemoglobin concentration (HbA1c) is 67mmol/mol (8.3%). This
HbA1c level is within the target range agreed
with Mrs. M.
Mrs. M presents at her most recent consultation with pain that the GP tells her is likely to be
due to her diabetes and “nerve” pain. Mrs. M has
previously tried codeine 30mg (up to four times
a day) which helped a bit with pain but made her
feel dizzy and constipated.

Simvastatin 40mgdaily
Ramipril 10mg daily
Aspirin 75mg daily
Metformin 500mg three times a

Bisoprolol 5mg daily
Amlodipine 5mg each morning
Paracetamol when needed for
pain
Her GP prescribes pregabalin, 75mg twice
daily. Mrs. M is not keen to take these tablets,
but reluctantly agrees. Mrs. M tells her family
that the new medications make her feel dizzy.
The family noties the GP, who says that she
needs to take them for neuropathic pain and
persevere.
Mrs. M has a fall. Her GP tells her that this is
probably not due to the pregabalin. Mrs. M continues the pregabalin and has another fall. The
GP stops the pregabalin.
Mrs. M doesn’t have any more falls. However,
she loses condence, stops going outside, and
becomes low in her mood.
Her GP discusses the option of adding an antidepressant. Mrs. M asks if they will make her
dizzy and when her GP explains that they might,
Mrs. M decides she wants to “see how she goes.”
Mrs. M continues to complain of pain and also
presents with weakness in her legs.
On reviewing Mrs. M, medication-related
events have more than likely to have been caused
by the pregabalin and it’s important to review all
her medications. The possible causes of harm and
suggested actions are set out as follows:
1. What are the possible causes of harm in Mrs.
M? Mention the suggested action/s to minimize the harm in Mrs. M.

20 Safe Prescribing and Monitoring in the Older Person

If we consider Mrs. M, the things that are
important to her are that she “doesn’t want to
fall and her mood is low.” The fall happened
after she started the pregabalin.
• While Mrs. M agreed to the trial of pregaba-
lin, when on monitoring it became clear that
it was causing unacceptable side effects; it
was appropriate to stop the medication.
• Review of appropriateness of the treatment
of her medicines for secondary prevention
of cardiovascular disease (which had been
prescribed for almost 15 years) found no
evidence of hypotension or postural hypo-
tension, indicating that these medicines
were unlikely to be contributing to her
falls. These are therefore appropriate to
continue for secondary prevention of car-
diovascular disease.
• After minimizing medication-related pre-
cipitants of her falls, consider referral to a
physiotherapist for strength and balance
training to reduce her risk of falling further
and so reduce her fear of falling.
10.2 Case Study 2: Addressing
Anticholinergic and Sedative
Burden
An 81-year-old man with high anticholinergic
and sedativeburden
Mr. JL, 81 year old, lives with his wife at
home. Recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, his wife notices that he has been more forgetful and unsteady on his feet. He even tripped
in the lounge room on the way to his chair. He has
also been complaining of constipation.
Medical history Current medications
Parkinson’s disease
Hypertension
Hyperlipidemia
Chronic back pain
Insomnia
Diabetes
Levodopa/carbidopa
100mg/25mg three times daily
Telmisartan 80mg in the
morning
Rosuvastatin 10mg at night
Tapentadol 50mg twice daily
Temazepam 10mg at night
Glibenclamide 5mg daily
His medications are packed into a dosing
administration aid by the local pharmacy to
improve adherence. Recent pathology tests reveal
a high HbA1 of 9% (75mmol/mol). During the
home visit, the consultant pharmacist discovers
several missed doses of the lunchtime levodopa/
carbidopa. Mr. JL does not mention that he is in
pain.
A review of Mr. JL’s medication would identify medication-related problems. These are set
out as follows:
1. What are the medication-related problems
identied in Mr. JL through a person-centered
medication review? Suggest suitable recommendations in resolving the identied medication-related problems in Mr. JL.
If we consider Mr. JL, “what’s important”
to him and his wife is to address his issues: he
is more forgetful, unsteady on his feet, and has
bouts of constipation. Key medication-related
problems may include:
• High anticholinergic and sedative burden
(tapentadol, temazepam in addition to
recently initiated levodopa/carbidopa) may
contribute to his forgetfulness and high
falls risk.
• Tapentadol possibly contributing to consti-
pation, and over prolonged period of time
lead to addiction, dependence, and
tolerance.
• Uncontrolled hyperglycemia and pre-
scribed glibenclamide, which should be
avoided when possible in older people due
to greater risk of hypoglycemia which can
lead to falls.
Recommendations:
• Aim to cease tapentadol. Taper down the
dose to avoid any withdrawal effects.
Introduce regular paracetamol and nonphar-
macological treatments (e.g., massage, heat
packs) to manage chronic back and osteoar-
thritic pain. Refer to a physiotherapist.

478
A. R. Mair et al.
• Aim to cease temazepam. Taper down the
dose slowly to avoid any withdrawal
effects. Educate on good sleep hygiene
practices (e.g., avoiding caffeine, optimal
sleep environment). If pharmacotherapy is
needed, melatonin may be considered.
• Switch from glibenclamide to metformin
for better glucose control. Sulfonylureas
are not recommended in those over the age
of 75 due to increased risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor for renal function before and
after initiating metformin and adjust the
dose accordingly. Ensure that the dose of
metformin is increased gradually to minimize any gastrointestinal side effects.
Repeat HbA1c in 3–6 months to assess
impact on overall glucose control.
10.3 Case Study 3: AnEthical
Dilemma
Ward round has just ended for the junior doctor
on the surgical ward. Robert is a 79-year-old gentleman who has been admitted following a hip
fracture. He has no cognitive past medical history
and nursing staff are concerned that he is confused and “making too much noise,” disturbing
the other patients. The senior nurse requests that
a hypnotic is prescribed, albeit off license, so that
nursing staff can work peacefully and other
patients can rest. On informed reection, the
junior doctor is concerned that a prescription of
such a medication would not be appropriate and
may cause medication-related harm if used. He
appreciates the disruption that complex and challenging patients can have. Patient review reveals
a gentleman who does not appear to be a risk to
himself or others, and he suggests initially to
attempt verbal de-escalation. The junior doctor
discusses the case with an experienced hospital
pharmacist and the medical registrar who agree
with his assessment. There is concern that the
patient is mildly delirious (acute) due to increased
pain from the fracture and possible constipation
due to previous opioids. It is identied that a
more effective, appropriate analgesic review
could be useful. Tactful discussion and reference
to guidance by the junior doctor with the member
of staff who asked for the prescription do not end
with a mutual agreement, albeit the decision to
prescribe lies with the medical team. Later that
day, he reects on this experience: he felt he
made the right informed team decision, but will
this staff member resent him or portray him in a
negative light?
1. What are the factors to be considered during
such a challenging situation to ensure that
you are functioning as a responsible and
pharmacovigilant prescriber?
The use of prescribing tools, continued training and education,and working well within the
multidisciplinary team are all integral aspects
toward a healthcare professional’s practice. It is
crucial that the prescribing healthcare professional is aware that ultimately they are responsible for their own practice and they need to ensure
that it is robust.
A pharmacovigilant prescriber is one who
does not work in isolation, taking into account
the opinions and idea of others, and makes
evidence- based decisions to ensure safe and
effective patient care. They are not afraid to
make difcult decisions and prioritize patient
safety, making use of necessary support systems
to make these challenging choices. There are
several interlinked concepts for safe prescribing
that need to function well, with each individual
committed to being involved at every stage.
Maintaining a smooth cycle (shown in Fig.20.4)
reduces the risk of harm and means the healthcare professional is a proactive champion to
bring positive change when required. This
involves taking appropriate written and verbal
advice as well as proactively raising areas of
concern and improving systems through education and review [70].
