Patient-Reported Barriers and Enablers to Deprescribing Recommendations During a Clinical Trial (Shed-MEDS).

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Effective deprescribing requires shared decision making between a patient and their clinician, and should be used when implementing evidence-based deprescribing conversations. As part of the Shed-MEDS clinical trial, this study assessed barriers and enablers that influence patient decision making in deprescribing to inform future implementation efforts and adaptations.

Research design and methods

Shed-MEDS, a randomized controlled deprescribing trial, included hospitalized older adults discharging to post-acute care facilities. A trained clinician reviewed each participant's medical history and medication list to identify medications with potential for deprescribing. The study clinician then conducted a semistructured patient-centered deprescribing
