Abstract

Elderly critical care patients are one of the largest growing patient population groups according to Medicare data. More than 51% of elderly patients are discharged on inappropriate medications that have the potential to cause harm or interact adversely with other medications. Precision health has the potential to prevent adverse drug events and prescription of inappropriate medications. The purpose of this literature review was to define the concept of precision health and determine the state of science regarding interprofessional models of precision health for assessment of caregiver impact on polypharmacy in elderly intensive care unit patients.
