Polypharmacy is a significant factor to consider, due to a greater risk of drug-to-drug interaction, older people'schanges in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes, and the common adverse risks of certain drug classes that may frequently lead to falls.

This course will initially share the recommended overall analysis of factors to be considered as risks for falls, and willthen focus on one of those components, which is medication analysis and reconciliation. This factor has been described by geriatricians as a single factor to greatly decrease a person's fall risk.

The interprofessional team member's communication strategies will then be shared for optimal person-centered fall risk reduction.
